Hi all,

I am new to all this me and my husband have been trying for over a year now (unsuccessfully) we had had all the blood test/sperm test etc. just got the letters for the scan and ovary test. Can anyone tell me about the ovary scan as a little scared if I am honest.

Just told a few close friends and my parents and I instantly feel like a weights been lifted.

Hope everyone is well and feel positive about their various stages of where you are all up to xxx

I am going to see the gynaecologist at the end of the month for the first time and all they have written in the letter was that I should come with another person to undergo investigations. Does anyone know exactly what is done at this stage???

They haven't said much in the letter other than use the words investigations. It was attached to what apears to be a generic letter about treatments as well. I'm just a bit confused x

I have had an ovary scan, I thought it was like an ultrasound?

I must still have that left to come if it's similar to a smear.

There is one where they check your ovaries and tubes and put dye through to check for blockages. The nurse said I need to take someone with me as you can go abit wobbly legged after it 🙈🙈

Welcome to the group it will be a god send trust me!☺️

I had a scan/ X-ray thingy (sorry not sure what the real term is lol) during my investigation, where they use dye to check if your tubes are all flowing properly does that sound like what ur taking about? xx

Hello, yes that the one. How was it? X

Hi Button-123, I had two tests done, an internal scan and an X-ray. The scan was pretty easy and quick and just like a smear test really. The X-Ray took a little longer but was completely painless. The team looking after me were lovely and although it's not the most comfortable thing to go through, it really isn't too bad. I was exactly the same as you and worried sick about both procedures but please don't worry, they will be over and done with very soon and then you will be one step closer to being a mum! Good luck xxx
