Anytime! I was scared too but it was so easy. The worst part was a little shot that they gave me but its so fast but I heard they dont do it always...let me know if you have any toher questions...
BTW it's way better than going for an X-ray since there's no radiationChat Icon

Re: Anyone have a pelvic MRI?

I had a pelvic MRI with contrast. My ultrasounds (multiple) were coming back with all sorts of funky things (abnormal fibroid, possible endometrial cancer, etc...BTW, I had none of those things, just wanted to show you how far off ultrasounds can be).

So, I did the pelvic MRI...guess what...I'm fine! They found that I have severe adenomyosis, but it's nothing deadly...it's basically endometriosis of the internal uterus. It can cause heavy periods, cramping, etc....and if it gets bothersome, I can elect to have a hysterectomy. I have none of the above symptoms, so no surgery for me.

The MRI is a piece of cake...the worst part was I got cold in the machine...that's about it. They give you headphones and asked me which radio station I'd like to listen to, and I tried to relax for the next 40 min.

I hope everything is ok.

I was also scared before the MRI, worried that they'd find something horrible. If you need to talk, I'm here, feel free to FM me.
