I wouldn't want one operating on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1723620 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:25:55 +0000 BSB 1723620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mopeybuthopey: Oh, I wrote this post after my day 3 u/s. It wasn't too bad. I was just wondering if others felt the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1723570 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:03:40 +0000 mopeybuthopey 1723570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate this too! I have mine next week. But pretty everyone who does IVF has to have a baseline US, so if planning to pursue IVF... we have to warm up to the idea!! I think the anticipation will be worse than the real thing. @Tequiero21 -- you are nicer than me!! I'm putting the kebash on any residents, even though I know they NEED to learn. I am paying a lot of money so this time I get to come first :)</p> <p>Let us know about your experience @bluestriped_bee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1721082 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:48:23 +0000 Jenn23 1721082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had so many, doesn't phase me anymore. Just had one on Day 2 on Monday. Total mess! Yes, they are used to it. They do it all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1720538 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:45:35 +0000 BSB 1720538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad I'm not the only one. Yeah, the people who do them are really nice and I'm sure they are used to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1720501 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:37:21 +0000 tequiero21 1720501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, I used to hate those! Especially when they take out the wand and I can feel goo coming out. Tmi, sorry. But I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one, so I took comfort in that. The worst is when they have a student or resident come and u know they are probably really grossed out by it, so u feel just a bit worse.</p> <p>Good luck with this iui! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1720371 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 08:53:16 +0000 FaithFertility 1720371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughhhh yes, too many times to count, it is odd! Hopefully this is your last!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1720083 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 03:44:44 +0000 Robyn_ZA 1720083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know the feeling! </p> <p>When I had an US during AF the nurse put an absorbant big pad thingie on the table before I hopped on - much like a puppy house training pad! It was so blind. But hey, she does it all day as we've said above :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1720033 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:29:52 +0000 LovelyPlum 1720033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck, lady!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1720018 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:10:06 +0000 googly-eyes 1720018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Just lurking but I'm so excited for your IUI! :goodluck: :goodluck: :goodluck:</p> <p>eta, oh, and yes I'd be freaked out too. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719833 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:14:00 +0000 Happygal 1719833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Not fun. Most of the nurses are discreet and quickly remove the wand's cover. But one time that didn't happen, and the doctor sat chatting with me while it was right there beside us. I felt humiliated.</p> <p>ETA: I know it's normal for them and they're not bothered by it. But it's not normal for patients, and I wish they would keep that in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719765 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:52:29 +0000 PurplePumps 1719765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I normally go in on CD5 right before starting meds, so it's really light or non existent by then, but I had to go in on CD3 once since CD5 would be on Sunday, and I was so grossed out, it was weird just laying on the table waiting for the doc and worrying that I'd just leak on the table! I def saw blood when they pulled the probe out, but I'm sure they see it all the time so I try not to think too much about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719675 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:18:03 +0000 babycanuck 1719675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to do this in a couple weeks. I'm not looking forward to it. Sounds so gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719672 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:17:09 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1719672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Giving birth is a big bloody (sometime even poo) filled affair. Hopefully this is just practice for you for that! Good luck my dear!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719668 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:15:15 +0000 swedishfish 1719668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had ultrasounds done during AF and while miscarrying. I figure the techs and doctors have seen it all so I wasn't embarrassed. It's not so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719635 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:00:00 +0000 twoofeverything 1719635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I remember.<br /> For some reason, I had it in my head that it would be tidier if I used a tampon and took it out just beforehand. Then I'd use a "feminine" wipe right before the tech came in.<br /> Seriously, just remind yourself that this is what they wanted to do, went through many years of school to do, what they do every day, and what you're paying them stupid amounts of money to do.<br /> They DO this. And thank God, because I wouldn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719627 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:57:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1719627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain. It's gross and embarrassing. I hope yours is quick tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719622 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:56:37 +0000 mrswin 1719622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yes! Since they are first thing in the AM I usually try and shower that morning in the hopes that it is reasonable when I am there. I try and remind myself that they do this everyday and so its weird for me but probably not for them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719615 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:55:23 +0000 Crystal 1719615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719576 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:42:53 +0000 artsyfartsy 1719576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck lady!! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719561 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:38:56 +0000 BSB 1719561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lazypanda: yeah, I'm so happy I found this clinic. Yup, as far as I know, I should be doing another back to back Inseminations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719542 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:34:01 +0000 GreenThumb 1719542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Totally gross… just had one today! No fun at all, but at least the tech who did mine was really nice. It is true that they are all used to it. Wishing you all the best with this cycle!! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719539 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:32:50 +0000 lazypanda 1719539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: yikes! CD3 u/s, not just bloodwork??? well at least this RE is very thorough with you. I felt weird with the HSG today as I kept thinking that I might still have some residual spotting from AF! Will you be doing another back to back IUI? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719530 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:28:57 +0000 BSB 1719530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719529 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:28:17 +0000 travelgirl1 1719529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: All the luck in the world that this cycle is THE one to brings you a baby :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719524 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:27:21 +0000 BSB 1719524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Oh, maybe over time, it will get better. My last RE only did blood work. This is my second Day 3 u/s.</p> <p>I got my results. There was a cyst but my E2 levels are ok,<br /> so we are proceeding with an IUI this month. I was worried about a delay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719519 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:24:27 +0000 travelgirl1 1719519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I hear you. I used to get grossed out by them but these days I'm not as bothered because I know every patient in the clinic has to do a day 3 so the techs are more than used to it. Good luck with your day 3 :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/day-3-ultrasounds-ugh#post-1719517 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:23:01 +0000 BSB 1719517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE does day 3 ultrasound and it just skeeves me out that I have get one done in the middle of AF.</p> <p>I feel so self conscious. I try to clean up down there so it's not as bad.</p> <p>Anyone else have day 3 ultrasounds and are as grossed out as me? </p>
