Well, that was uncomfortable.
♥ I had to have an ultrasound tonight after work. I asked if I could leave early a while ago and it just happened to work out that there were only 2 people in today so it was no problem. I had started drinking water at 3:300ish for my appt. at 6:15 and by 4:45 I was DYING. I was about to leave work around 5:30 but I absolutely couldn’t stand the pain any more so I went to the bathroom to pee just a little bit- which let me tell you, is HARD. It helped a bit, but I thought- I should drink more water so my bladder fills up again by the time I get there. I didn’t make it half way there and I had to pull over and squat. Then when I got to the hospital, I was dying AGAIN and couldn’t even walk across the parking lot normally. I snuck into the bathroom in the hospital before I checked in and tried to pee and little bit again. Brutal.
Luckily, she admitted me right away and then I only had to suffer through her pushing on my bladder for 5 more minutes. She couldn’t see what she was looking for, so she said I’d have to have an internal ultrasound- which I’ve never had before. At that point though, the only thing I heard was "you get to go to the bathroom first" and I was so relieved that I didn’t even care.
It wasn’t as bad as I had thought it would be, actually. Uncomfortable- but nothing as bad as the pushing on the bladder thing. She couldn’t find my ovary though, so it sucked trying to find it. Ugh. I should have results next week.
Sigh. what a day.
I hate “procedures.” In one way or another they are always uncomfortable. I do find the information from the procedures fascinating, though. Glad your ordeal is over.

I had one of those recently too – it’s uncomfortable but manageable. glad you survived! One of the joys of having a uterus and ovaries – invasive procedures. How lucky! ha ha. And men complain about having to get a prostate exam… riiiight.

try having an internal US while pregnant… THAT is uncomfortable… plus you feel a little bit slutty, with some stranger probing your p*ssy… and you´re pregnant already… lol
