Hi all, thanks for your replies. I had the ultrasound done and everything has come back clear. Just the transducer on my tummy, that was it. However 2 days before the appointment I had stinging when urinating and I told the woman doing the scan that I had stinging upon urination. She just asked me if I had bleeding at the same time and I said no. But surely taking a urine sample would have helped? No sample was taken!

So what I have done is take a urine sample and stored it in the fridge. It contains blood but there was no stinging. Maybe now the doctors will act on this? I hope so.
