first follicular ultrasound --questions
Hello All,
Hope all the cysters had happy thanksgiving! I have my first follicular ultrasound next Friday and have few questions:
1.) How is it performed?
2.) Do I need to worry about removing hairs from my private areas (sorry to ask this here, but I do not have anyone else I would be comfortable asking this)? - I am allergic to hair removal creams, shaving gives me itch and I am afraid of waxing due to lot of pain…don't know what to do to get rid of them. I am really nervous thinking about it. Please help! I don't want to be embarrassed and do not want to think about during my ultrasound…as I think should be actually worrying about by test rather than this.
Thanks for listening!

1. It is a transvaginal ultrasound, meaning the ultrasound wand is placed in your vaginal canal. Not to be too technical, but it's wiggled about a bit and you get to see your ovaries and uterus on the screen. Mine usually take less than five minutes tops.
2. I'm sure your ultrasound tech or doctor has Seen It All. No one's attention is focused on the grooming of your ladygarden, everyone is watching the ultrasound screen.

Of all the fertility things, the ultrasound is the least of your worries. Basically, they take a wand, put a probe cover on it ( looks like a condom) and insert, they really barely even look down there. My old RE's office actually used to have me place it in myself (that's unusual though I think). You have a paper sheet over your lap, so they really don't get much of a view. And as said above, I'm sure they've seen it all. It's over in a matter of minutes.

Trying-you'll be fine. The first transvaginal ultrasound I had was when I was 18 and having severe PCOS issues (before I knew I had PCOS). I had to put the wand in myself. At the RE, they it all, they've seen it all. If you don't have any problems down there for an annual exam, you won't have any issues down there now, either.

Yeah, don't stress too much!! It's kinda covered up and they don't really pay attention to it!! I was a little concerned when I had mine last month, but only because I had stopped bleeding about 4 hours prior to having it.. lol I was worried it would make me spot again!!!!
Just take a quick shower before you go if you're worried about any kind of smell or anything..

the worst one I've had to go for is a CD 3 ultrasound as I've still been bleeding. They don't even flintch, its' always worse when we think too much about it.
You'll be fine. Just trim a little, LOL
