Re: Transvaginal Ultrasound with a full bladder...
The transvaginal u/s took like 5 mins at most. They don't press on your bladder or your stomach at all. It really is fast and not too uncomfortable.
If you feel like you are honestly on the verge of wetting yourself you can pee a tiny bit just enough to get relief.

I've only had to have a full bladder for IUI, not ultrasounds, but I've learned to do a full bladder, but not an about-to-bust bladder, if that makes sense! So, "i really have to pee" feeling is good vs "OMG I can hardly walk and there's about to be urine dripping down my leg". With a full bladder, it's not that bad, with a REALLY full bladder, it sucks. Of course, I was more concerned with not peeing on the nurse (and told her I was sorry in advance if I did) vs it being uncomfortable, so maybe it IS a good distraction...
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermI've never had a transvag u/s with a full bladder. I always go in with a full bladder, they start trans abdominally and then I can pee it all out and go back for the transvag.
Also, I agree with RAB that I always just go with the, I have to pee, but learned not to overdo the water. I usually drink half of what they recommend and its perfect.
Good luck!

They are normally pretty on-schedule most of the time so hopefully that holds true for the ultrasound appointment!

I spoke with the tech about my results a little as the ultrasound was going on but I probably won't hear from my doctor until early next week. Here's what I got from the tech tho...
The Bad News: I have a retroverted uterus. And she said my lining wasn't quite as thick as they would like it to be at this point in my cycle. She also said though that it could just be that she couldn't get an accurate reading because of the position of my uterus.
The Good News: I have a lovely, well matured follicle on my right ovary!

Having a retroverted uterus is not the end of the world - lots of ladies have one, including myself.
Go take advantage of the mature folli!
