As mentioned earlier on in the year, doing a blood test is usually the first test that they will run to see what is going on. They want to make sure that all your hormones are in balance and they are not part of the problem.
The next thing they will do is order an ultra sound. They do this so they can check to make sure you have all the parts needed, also it is done to see if they are shaped the way they are supposed to be shaped. The doctor will probably have the ultra sound tech complete a pelvic ultra sound and a Transvaginal ultrasound.
When going to this ultrasound appointment, they will have you drink at least 32 ounces of water the hour before you go in because this fills up your bladder and allows them to see your organs better. They will do the pelvic ultrasound first as your bladder is full. They will have you undress from the bottom down and then cover up with one of those very flattering paper towel things. Then they will have you lie on your back and put this jelly stuff on your lower abdomen. If the ultrasound tech is nice they should allow you to see what is going on and what they are looking at. Now they can’t tell you if anything is wrong and really they are not supposed to tell you anything about it because it is up to your doctor to diagnose.
Once they are done with the pelvic exam they will have you empty your bladder and then do the transvaginal ultrasound. This part can be very uncomfortable because they have this ultrasound wand that is probably about the size of two super size tampons. Once it is inserted they will move it around to get a better view of the ovaries and the uterus. Don’t hesitate to tell them if it is too uncomfortable or if they are hurting you. It shouldn’t be super painful just uncomfortable. Also you may experience some slight bleeding or spotting afterword.
Once the ultrasounds are completed they will send the results to your doctor’s office who will contact you with your results. They will let you know from there what the next steps are.
