Please wish me luck. I have to go in for a full pelvic exam tomorrow and I'm dreading it. They're doing 2 ultrasounds - one external, which I have to have a full bladder for, so I have to drink 1L of water an hour before the exam and hold it, and then they're doing a transvaginal ultrasound which I find incredibly invasive and triggering. Plus I'm really scared about the results - some of the stuff they're testing for is potentially really scary.

Hope all goes well!! I dislike the drink so much your bladder feels like it will explode ultrasounds. I get annual ultra sounds, one on the belly, and trans-vaginal. Had to do a pelvic tilt for the last one, my ovaries had gone into a relaxed place, due to it being that time of the month. But there was no way, in heck I was walking out of 'that' visit without capturing those ovaries. Even if it seemed like, my tech would move this way, and I would move that way. Normally, I feel a little awkward with that type, but not this last one. Glad there was nothing there, as two weeks prior to that one, I'd been placed into a great health scare.

Anyways, hope all your results are ok

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I hope that it goes quickly and that only good results are found.

Here's wishing you well.

Hope all goes well. Not things I would put highest on the "fun list," that's for sure. But I hope the report will be good.

Sorry these tests bring up past triggers and you're worried about the results. Maybe you can tell technician beforehand you have past triggers without going into too much detail. Most of us dislike these tests and it is a bit uncomfortable holding all that water. Even though I don't have those triggers, it helped me when I think this is just a routine medical procedure for the medical people. Doing tests down there or looking at your throat is pretty well boring routine for them. These tests will make sure you're healthy and good for you in the long run.

Do what helps you normally. I hope the tests come back normal and everything goes smoothly.

Wishing you the best on all this.

I get so triggered that I cannot do it.

Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks everyone.

Well I've had the ultrasounds. I don't think I've ever been so happy to get to a bathroom in my life.

The internal was pretty bad. I had to lift my bum and tilt my pelvis for some of the angles the tech wanted. I still feel sore inside. and it brought up unpleasant stuff.

But at least it's over with now, and my Dr. will have the results in 3-4 days.
