Transvaginal ultrasound/fertility - anxious!

Hey all.

So tomorrow I have a transvaginal ultrasound - my Dr has sent me for it, presumably to check for PCOS as although my periods frequent, the length can vary sometimes by up to 5 days but I have not had a period since having the booster jab and then Covid on 23rd Dec.

Has anyone else had this done via the NHS and know what they will tell me/what else they look for, if anything? I’m also being sent for blood tests but just wondered if they will analyse the ultrasound in more depth than just the PCOS checking? Feeling nervous!

Thank you so much!

I had to have one of these when they thought I had the same. It sounds horrendous but honestly wasn't that bad- the worst part for me was the whole 'try and relax' which of course as soon as someone says that you tense up! The person doing it was so patient and lovely and really made sure I felt okay and not in any pain, I know it sounds daft but she just had a normal conversation with me about what I was doing at the weekend and it really calmed me down- there was no pain and it a lot better than I expected as I'd stressed myself up!
