Ovaries hide during ultrasound w/fibroids?

Question

Hey ladies. I have some very small fibroids that my obgyn says shouldn't stop me from conceiving at all. She had trouble this past Thursday seeing my left ovary on the ultrasound screen when she was looking for follicles. I did some online research and read that sometimes fibroids make it hard to see ovaries... but she blamed it on her machine.

Just wondering if any of you have heard this?

Answer

Yes, my right ovary wasn't visible at every transvaginal, but my fertility doctor used a great machine and moved it around and found it

Answer

Yes. They had a hard time finding mine too. I had three fibroids, one very small (I think 1cm), one medium, and one large the size of a small basketball. The medium and small were eventually removed. The small is still in there. My ovaries are definitely in there and working though, because I have a 14 week old son now lol.
