Before your internal sonograms, were you told to drink a lot of water and hold it for the test??

I was talking to a friend earlier who said she had never heard of that for an internal...anyone?

No I didn't have to do that at all. One of my friends did - years ago though...as in 10 yrs ago when she had the internal. She was surprised that I didn't have to drink fluid too. But I just had my 4th internal sono this morning and I've never had to drink anything.

This was my experience as well

I had to have quite a few internal sonograms for my endometriosis and other issues (not related to TTC) and anytime I had an internal sono, I was urged to empty my bladder

I am not sure what the standard procedure is on this and maybe it depends on what they are looking for . i.e, whether they prefer your bladder full or empty .. so I suppose all I would say is to just follow your present doctors advice for this teset

The only time I had to drink was when I was PG and having a regular (external) songram. All internals have been without a full bladder.

Re: For those who had internal sonograms...

When my GYN thought I had cysts (didn't) I had an internal and external. I had to drink TONS of water and hold it - when your bladder is full is when they can see wahtever it is they are looking at for this.

Then I emptied (like a racehorse!!!) and they did the internal I think.

It's not bad, just uncomfy holding all the H20.
