Gas in my bladder on ultrasound?

[rach971]

I had an ultrasound done today (6+3) and they couldn't see my ovaries apparently due to gas in my bladder. Has anyone had this before?

It's got me a bit worried as when I've googled, it says it's potentially a very serious infection. Although I did have my urine tested at a lab a couple of weeks ago due to a UTI and nothing came back so I'm hoping all is okay 😬

Definitely didn't say bowel gas did they? Bowel gas is a common problem with ultrasound, it creates shadows and leads to poorer views. Would probably consult GP if they definitely said bladder gas. Congratulations btw! 😁

No 100% bladder gas, unless she misspoke and meant bowel. Because I instantly thought how the hell is there gas in my bladder 🤣 Thank you 🥰

My scan report at 7 weeks said they couldn't see one ovary due to bowel gas, so I'd assume it was bowel rather than bladder.
