Endovag scan during period?

[Aglaia]

Hello -

Is it ok to have an endovag scan while on your period?  My doctor felt a fullness, so referred me for one (as well as a pelvic ultrasound), but the earliest appointment I could get is 2-1/2 weeks away, which will probably be the last day or two of my period.  I took it because the waiting is already torturing me and this abdominal pain is just getting worse.  I'm terrified that this pain could be cancer and/or affect my fertility, so just want to find out as soon as I can.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I had once a transvaginal u/S durig my period.
It was part of the first fertility testing they did at my clinic.
They want to make sure there is no activity in your ovaries so they can see that everything is good.
This is how they found out I had a tube blocked and what they saw could not be a follicle or a corpus lutheum.
It was unconfortable but not terrible.
Good luck!

Oh, is that what it is? A transvaginal ultrasound? I never knew it was called an endovag scan. I guess you learn something new every day :-)

Best of luck to you, Aglia! I hope everything looks good whenever you do have the scan.

While it is certainly possible, it may be better to wait. When the time is getting closer and you are sure it will be af time, call them to see what they advise. If it were me, I would rather wait until af was gone. The "probing" they do with that wand can be slightly uncomfortable and to be on af, too might make for a messy appt. My last vag u/s took a good 1/2 hr. I understand not wanting to wait. Good luck!
