I’m due to get an internal ultrasound in a couple of weeks time and I’m already anticipating being in a lot of pain with it! I find smear tests extremely painful so I’m imagining this will be the same 😭

Most posts that I’ve seen on forums etc have mostly been people just saying they tend to feel some pressure, not pain. I’ve only ever read one or two people saying it was really painful. X

Oh dear that doesn’t sound like a nice experience 🤦🏼‍♀️ hopefully it was just an off day and won’t become the norm for you if you ever have to get one again! X

I went for this a week weeks back at the start of March, if your having a good day with your endo you don’t feel anything, not gonna lie to you it feels like a dildo haha, nothing to be worried about if your having a bad day with your endo all you feel is pressure. It’s nothing like a smear test at all, if anything it’s a lot nicer than a smear x

Yeah I hope they do, it’s so annoying when they can’t find anything it’s like hitting your head against a brick wall x

My surgery is due for a lap for endo what is it like? If you don’t mind me asking x

Lou93 in reply toButterfly20

No I don’t mind at all ask away the actual lap was fine and recovery took me longer as I had complications after but it’s rare they said x

Butterfly20 in reply toLou93

That’s alright then, I’m quite nervous for it myself x
