CD 3 U/S IS THIS VAGINAL?

yes gypsy-

caryn,

So, it's true!? Man,I thought it would be since that would be the best way to see whats going on. Is it uncomfortable?

No Gypsy- Its fine and after you have done it several times like I have! Its no big deal! Good Luck

YES!! I wish someone would have warned me!! I was so freakin embarrassed but at my docs office the nurses perform them so it wasnt that bad..luckily my flow was starting to lighten so it wasnt that bad. It was a little uncomfortable but keep in mind that these people do this all day, all week so they are use to it. Its not as uncomfortable for them and they try to get in and out as quickly as they can.

Just try not to think about it. If you can take some wippies TAKE THEM!! Also, if you shower right before the visit ur flow may be a little lighter...GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks!! Oh can you guys tell me about these special rooms designed for the men to collect there sperm!! I've heard they have like porn magazine laying out everywhere, is this true??

LOL...my DH doesnt want to go!! This is our first so I dont knw anything about them but I would love to hear what the other ladies have to say!!

Once DH gets a hold of those magazines...I am sure if we need another IUI he will have NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Danyel, LOL, no doubt! I've heard differnt things. I have a friend that had ivf and she said they were like that where they went.. If you live like 30mins away from the clinic he probably can do it at home... thats what my paperwork says. When is your iui?

IUI tomorrow morning!! I am so happy this day is finally here!! There are really no words!! It has been a long process for me.

We have been married for 5 years and have had no pregnacies!! This is my first time trying any type of fertility assistance. I have a lap done in Oct 08 to remove endo and also a d&c and polypectomy to remove polyps.

WE ARE PRAYING THIS IS OUR MONTH!! Its been hard on DH to get here (admit we need assistance) so I am praying that this is not a long drawn out process.

Make sure you keep in touch...feel free to send me emails or whatever. All of this is still fresh in my mind and TRUST ME, I wish I had found this site when I first started the process.

I DAMN NEAR DROVE MYSELF INSANE with all the googling!!

GOOD LUCK ON UR JOURNEY!!

Hey Gypsy, I feel ya abt the U/S I had my first U/S at 6 weeks preggo and it was vaginal. The Dr described it to me this way when I asked her if it would hurt. The U/S Wand is like a Penis and it feels the same way lmao. whats crazy is they put a condom on the U/S wand and a lub (think it was KY) and stuck it in lmao :))) I hated the feeling as I was nervous and stiff, it was very uncomfy but not painful. Remember to losten up. IF ur stiff its gonna be a tough one :)

Thanks for the replies. I have had a vaginal u/s done plenty of times but i just didnt know they were going to do that when i was on my period. Its really no big deal either way. Yes, I understand about the journey Danyel.... Me and my husband have been trying for 2yrs and no preggo... he was born w/undescended testicles and he also has a vericole which all this results in low sperm count, when I went to fert. doctor he said my dh is very lucky to have ANY sperm... I about died. Anyway, I have only one ovary and one tube because i had a cyst that was on my ovary and also wrapped around my tube. OH yea, i have a fibroid cyst on my only ovary :( Anyway, we finally decided to take different steps into getting pregnant. I'm just trying not to get my hopes up, ya know but its hard not too. We have one more month to try naturally before iui... Good luck danyel, BABY DUST TO YOU :)I'll keep you in my prayers...

How are things going with you gypsy? When is your first IUI scheduled? I hope all is well and that you had a great thanksgiving holiday!!
