Alright... I'm heading out to have my Hoo Haa invaded for the 2nd time today!

Hopefully I don't pee myself on the way there!

[CandaceDianne]

I hope you made it to your appointment nice and dry.

[crazybabybrain]

Good luck!!!

Made it to the appointment without incident. YAY!!

I got there about 20 minutes early, so I got to watch a bit of Ellen. Then the tech came and got me. She said since I came early, she'd take me early. Works for me.

Had to go in the little changing room and take off shirt, pants and undies. Put on the little gown and went into the u/s room.

First she did an on the tummy u/s. When she put the wand on my lower belly she said "Oh your bladder is full! Poor thing. I won't press too hard." I was thinking "Hey, if you do press too hard, it ain't my job to clean this room up... so yeah, it's probably in your best interest to take it easy."

I actually had a student in there observing... they asked if it was cool and I said Sure. After she finished the first u/s I got to go pee!!! I have NEVER been so happy to see a toilet in my life!! It sounded like Niagara Falls!

Still saw some spotting when I when I wiped. I wondered if I should mention it to the tech, but I figured she's taking pics of my innards & didn't think it would much matter to them, so I kept it to myself.

Went back in for the transvaginal ultrasound... had to guide the "weapon" in... and there were some uncomfortable moments. They're really rooting around trying to get every possible angle photographed.

She asked if I minded letting the student have a go and I said that was fine. How else are they supposed to learn? I could barely feel the thing when the student was doing it. She even asked if she was hurting me, bless her.

They were talking so quietly that I could barely make out what they were saying and I couldn't see the screen... so I'm completely in the dark about how it went. Sigh. They said my doc will have the results in 3 business days, so hopefully I'll hear something by Thursday.

Finally everything was done. They said I could use the bathroom again and then get changed and be off. So I went back into the bathroom peed ANOTHER river, saw more spotting, got dressed and drove home.

Got home, had to pee AGAIN, now there's barely any spotting. I dunno if I should put it on my chart or not. I don't know if it's because of all the poking and prodding today or if it would've happened on it's own anyway. I think I'll put something in the Notes section, that way I won't forget.

[CandaceDianne]

Wow, you are like Niagra Falls! When I went to my u/s, I think I peed like 6 times while I was there in an hour and a half!
Anyway, glad to appt went well. I bet some of that spotting is from the vaginal u/s. Get used to that, when you get your BFP (soon), that's what you will have to do again (at least the first time).

[Admin-pattyandthemoos]

OMG Nikki I have had these horrible holding your pee ultrasounds. The last time I had to do one I had a twenty minute drive home. I will not do that again. If I ever have to hold my pee like that I will just go find a toilet and hang out by it for a half hour before I get home and/or wear depends.

I had a lot of bleeding after they did the mock transfer/ultrasound on me. I almost always have spotting after a pap and after an ultrasound so my guess is that is what is causing it.

I hate that you have to wait for the results but I don't think the tech people are allowed to tell you anything. I hope they call you quickly.

[Patriciamomofboys]

Ugh I hate ultrasounds for the very reason that you have a full bladder. Once a tech took pity on me and let me go a little. She gave me a cup, put a mark on it and said don't go past that mark. Even that little bit made me feel soooo much better. That was a 45 min ultrasound... it sucked.

I'm glad your appointment went well!

[Miss. Impatient Bevis]

ahhhhh the horrible feeling of having to hold onto your pee for that long blows.
Im glad you didnt pee on anything but the loo

[Tammyms]

Glad you posted your experience here Nikki, I have the exact same but can't get in until Dec! Sucks they don't make any comments while they're doing it that lets you know how things look though! Holy suspense, that part is going to kill me!

And you had all the bloodwork done that I had last week and I go in tomorrow for my follow up Look at us being medical buddies!!!

[jensma]

i would almost guarantee the spotting is from the procedures. I spotted after my pap too even though i didn't feel a thing and my spotting picked up with my m/c after my transvag u/s too. So i wouldn't mark it.

Glad it went good, can't wait to hear what they found, but i would think they'd mention something if it was bad...but maybe that's just me!
