Question about ultrasounds?

Question

Is it normal for ultrasound techs to check your ovaries during an ultrasound? At my 12 week scan the tech pushed extremely hard on my belly which was very painful and uncomfortable.. He said he was checking my ovaries. I didn't have this with previous pregnancies.

Answer

They check ovaries for cysts and ectopic pregnancies. Important, but uncomfortable

Answer

They did check mine. Had five ultrasounds at 12 weeks due to subchrionic hemmorhage.

But, I think it should not hurt...

Answer

Yes. Mine have been checked in all 7 of my US

Answer

Mine checked at each visit, but I do also have a simple cyst that's being monitored. However, they still checked before the cyst was even found.

Answer

They didn't with my first but 3 months prior I'd just had laproscopic surgery for endometriosis and they did a dye test.  About 6 months before that I'd gone to the ER with extreme pain round my left ovary and they checked then. It hurt horribly. Turns out it was the endometriosis. I hope they don't do it at my first appt on Fri!

Answer

Despite only being 16 weeks, I've had five ultrasounds now and they've checked my ovaries with every one. The month before I got pregnant I had an ovarian cyst burst (hella painful!) and I've a long history of endometriosis, so I expected it anyway.

Answer

Yes. They did with my first pregnancy and we learned I had ovarian cysts. 
I'm expecting them to do it again when I go in for this pregnancy.

Answer

They did with both my early ultrasounds.

Answer

They checked my ovaries with the ultrasound as well.
