Yeah I think thats where they do it under ultrasound so no need to get a general anethetic and have the pain a laparoscopy brings. I think they advise you to have some panadol or nurofen as some people find it painful but most people don't just a small percent. I have no idea how much it costs. I had mine done under GA and lap and it didn't cost me anything but I have never had a scan where I haven't had to pay.
