Internal ultrasound??

Maddster22Maddster22 member
in Trouble TTC
I'm supposed to have an internal ultrasound on cd3, whenever AF shows up and I've never had internal ultrasound before...  Is it painful?  Uncomfortable?  How does that all work when your in the middle of AF?  I'm a little apprehensive about that part of it...  Just looking for some insight and stories from ladies that have had this experience.  TIA!
Me (Valine) - 29 PCOS/IR
DH (Isaac)- 28 All clear
Married 7/22/05
TTC since Sept '05
Metformin 1500mg
HSG 1/21/13 All clear!
3/13 - Clomid 50mg, days 5-9+ovidrel+TI = no response, induced AF
4/13 - Clomid 100mg, days 5-9+ovidrel+TI = 1 mature follicle - BFN
5/13 - Clomid 150mg, days 5-9+ovidrel+TI = no response, induced AF
7/13 - Clomid 200mg, days 5-9+ovidrel+TI = no response, induced AF
8/13 - Gonal F+Ganerelix+Ovidrel+TI+progesterone suppositories = BFN
RE break due to major health issues of my MIL
Began clean eating & TTC naturally for now

    Not painful, a little uncomfortable I guess. But get used to it, because to happens every single time you go.

    I don't think they're painful. Kinda feels like a Pap smear. I guess you could call it uncomfortable in a slightly physical and mental way. Lol

    I'm sure the docs have seen a lot so hopefully it doesn't bother them with it being in the middle

    It might be mildly uncomfortable. The only reason it's even uncomfortable for me is if they have to push on my stomach to find my ovaries. My AF is usually super light or nonexistent by CD3 so I don't have a lot of experience with that but it's no big dea

    I agree with what everyone else is saying.  The only time I have noticed discomfort is if they are pressing trying to see something better or if you are having an issue and your ovaries might be swollen.  But, that won't be the case with you.

    Put a hard rubber dildo with a condom up your cootch during your period - tadah! You've had the same experience as what a internal on cd3 is like.  

    In other words it' a hard semi rubber type device, they put a plastic protective barrier on

    As far as messiness, I wouldn't worry about.  It is nothing they haven't seen before.  After this last baseline u/s I had, the wand came out so messy even I was ready to gag, but the tech acted like it wasn't even there.  And actually, last
