Day 3 of Cycle - Ultrasound, 1/18/2012
I went back to Dr. Vasquez's office today for the follow up ultrasound from yesterday's Lupron injection. Little did I know that I would have to have more blood drawn! I assured the phlebotemist, Sherry, that I was certain I had no blood left to give her, and she assured me that I had plenty! Hmmph. Luckily it was only one vial today. After the draw I went to the ultrasound room and had some vaginal cultures (just like a pap smear) taken and then the actual ultrasound to look at my uterus, cervix and ovaries. Unlike NFC which only had the small screen on the ultrasound machine, CRH had the machine's screen extended to a larger screen so I could see what the tech was seeing. Never mind that I don't actually know what she was looking at, at least I got to watch. She took some images of all of the above and I happened to notice that when she was looking at my left ovary that she marked two small spots above and to the right and below and to the left of the ovary. I don't know if it was for measurement purposes, or if they're cysts or something else, but I didn't ask and she didn't tell. And I'm not sure if she did the same thing on the right side or not...I wasn't paying as close attention then. I don't know if any of you all have had one of these types of ultrasounds done before or not, but when the tech angles in at the ovaries it's pretty uncomfortable. Hopefully those marks are not bad news... just a few more weeks and we can put this puzzle together!

Next time you're being prodded with the wand, think about me and how I'll be prodding vaginas just like that in a few years!!! :) And yes, I've had it done and yes, it's terribly uncomfortable..
ReplyDeleteIf she was clicking and drawing a line and clicked again -- that is for measurement purposes. They do the same markings when they measure the baby in your tum. Yay!
