Infection in uterus aggravated by trans vag ultrasound ? Posted: 11-29-07 19:03pm
Ok......as many of you on here know I have
been ttc since my m/c in July of this
year. Well yesterday I had to go for an
ultrasound because the doc was concerned
that I may have an infection in my uterus.
The reason that they think this is because
I had some blood work done a couple of
weeks ago and it shows that I have some
inflammation going on somewhere in my body
and they are not sure where it is coming
form.
I find that since my m/c I just haven't
felt right and it seems that I still have
cramping even when I am not on my monthly
cycle. So yesterday when I got my
ultrasound the I was pretty tender inside
(trans vaginal) but I was just thinking
that it was because I still had a little
pee left in my bladder. BUT later on in
the evening I was in so much pain. It hurt
in my lower abdomen and in my my lower
back. I haven't felt anything like that
ever.
I was just wondering if anything like this
has happened to anyone on here before. I
am a little worried that maybe I do have
something going on in there and maybe it
was aggravated by the trans vag
ultrasound. Also it is right around the
time of ovulation for me so I am wondering
if that has anything to do with it.....
I appreciate everyone's
comments.........and hope that someone may
be able to give me a little advice.
P.S sorry the post was so long

It could have been an ovarian cyst. Our
bodies naturally produce them during/after
ovulation. They can and will cause
sensitiviy and pain. If they did an
transvag, they could have applied pressure
(probably did for measurement) which can
cause irritation. They also could have
ruptured one, or you previously had one
rupture and that is what is causing the
pain/cramps mid cycle.
It also could have something to do with
infection or a bigillion other things. I
don't want to undermind any things.
However, in MY experience, this is a very
real possibilty.
The tech did take a lot of
measurements.....and at one point when she
was applying pressure she asked me if I
was tender there so an ovarian cyst would
make sense. I really hope that I don't
have an infection because my hubby thinks
that we should stop ttc for right now just
in case there is something wrong he
doesn't want me to get pregnant then have
to go through losing another baby. He
makes alot of sense but I was just hoping
that I would be pregnant by the time my
due date from my last pregnancy comes
around (dec 25)
Do all women get cysts? And would they
cause me any trouble getting pregnant? I
haven't had a problem getting pregnant in
the past. But I am wondering if this is
something new for me.

I'm sure the doctor will tell you if you
need to take a break from ttc. But I can
see where your dh would be concerned.
Cysts....ugh. Yes, all women get them. We
produce them as our follicles (eggs)
mature. Once one is mature enough to be
fertilized, the cyst ruptures releasing
the mature follicle (ovulation). (this
cyst is called a luteal or functional
cyst) Then the cyst remains in order to
produce progesterone (the hormone
responsible for our raised temp after
ovulation as well as all our pms symptoms)
And the cyst will remain after an egg is
fertilized in order to produce the
hormones needed to sustain a pregnancy
(hense the nasty 1st trimester). They are
completely normal/natural and will not
cause a problem with conceiving.After the
egg is release and NOT fertilized or does
not implant, the body reobsorbs the cyst
(which is why your temp falls) and you
start your period.
However, not everyone's body works that
way. (Take me for example) Sometimes, your
body doesn't get the message that there is
no pregnancy, or it does get the
message....and just doesn't care. And it
does NOT reobsorb the cyst. This will
cause a delayed luteal phase and thus
postpone your period. Normally your temp
will stay elavated. And you will need meds
to 'restart' your cycle.
Sometimes, when you don't reobsorb the
cyst, they continue to grow. This can
cause a lot of pain (That's ME!!)
*And then there is PCOS
(poly-cystic-ovarian-syndrom) This is when
the body produces multiple cysts. This can
and will prevent ovulation (thus
pregnancy) However, I'm not well informed
on this condition and I'm not sure why it
happens (actually, I'm not sure anyone
knows why it happens).
Holy crap girl you sure know your stuff
And yes it totally
makes sense to me. Now I have a question
for you and I am not sure if you will know
the answer but I will ask anyway........
I had the ultrasound done on the
28th.....I was in pain the night if the
28th so obviously there was no way that I
could bd with my dh. When I woke up in the
morning the pain was pretty much gone. I
did have a little mild cramping throughout
the day but nothing out of the ordinary.
So my dh and I did bd last night (the
29th)......do you think that I missed the
egg then if the pain that I felt on the
28th was from a cyst rupturing?
