Pelvic+Transvaginal Ultrasound
Feeling pretty upset and confused.
The pelvic ultrasound showed up very normal.
Healthy happy uterus - Tick.
Two Ovaries - Tick.
Two kidneys - Tick.
Liver - Tick.
But the doctor couldn’t get a good enough view of my ovaries, other to see the general size, so I was recommended a Transvaginal Ultrasound. (Putting a thin probe up my who-ha). The guy was so incredibly relaxed, professional, patient and had a sense of humour to boot! And what was found-
Right Ovary had 20-30 follicles or ‘cysts’ some quite large and many small.
Left Ovary was exactly the same.
When I was shown the right ovary I was shocked, but didn’t feel overly sad or worried. But as soon as I was shown that the left ovary mirrored the right, my heart sank and I felt emotion rush my body and face. I managed to hold back tears and keep myself upbeat. I imagine they have to deal with a ton of grief in Radiology, they didn’t need mine as well. :(
