Iv got to have an mri scan on the 25th of March. For anyone that has had it on the pelvis for endo how long roughly did it take?

Thanks

Mine took about half an hour for the actual scan. I was at the appointment for nearly an hour.

My advice is take a sanitary towel with you. They filled me up with gel and I leaked for the rest of the day... NHS towels are really crap for some reason.

Probably 45 minutes. Mine was without and then with contrast.
