Ultrasound question

[Ahurani]

I have been having pains in my abdo for awhile so the GP and sent me for an u/s to have a look.

Problem is I booked the appt for Friday and af is due today (I think she is coming) do I still go?

I thought maybe I should get an internal done this time JIC, would they see more with an internal?

Ok so my question is

If af shows up should I still go for U/S?

Yes you definately see more with an internal u/s. They usually do both however and combined the two. I think abdo they see from a different angle from vaginal thus why they put the two together.
As for having AF I guess it depends on if its a heavy flow or just a tiny bit. I'd call to ask if its a problem having AF. I had one when I was bleeding to see if the pregnancy was viable so they do do it when your bleeding but for a normal u/s to check everything for fertility say then maybe they would prefer you not bleeding. Just call and ask.

I'd agree that it's worth calling to ask. FWIW, I know its very common for women undergoing fertility treatments to get internal u/s done on CD2 or 3, so it may not be a big deal for them?

I've had an u/s during AF (only time I could get the appt). No biggie - they just noted the fluid on the report.

Yep, I've had internals done during AF. Bit icky but makes no difference I don't think, except that they just note that you have AF.

No problem at all, you are still fine to go.
