How will a Fertility Pelvic Scan help me?

A fertility pelvic scan (often called a pelvic ultrasound for fertility or a transvaginal ultrasound) is a key tool to assess factors that may affect your ability to conceive. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it can help:

Assessing the Ovaries

Evaluating the Uterus

Assessing Fallopian Tubes (indirectly)

Guiding Fertility Treatments

Fertility Pelvic Ultrasound

How do I prepare for a Fertility Pelvic Ultrasound?

Timing: Your doctor will tell you which day of your cycle to come in (normally day 2-5 of your cycle or during ovulation)

Bladder: Finish drinking 1 litre of water 1 hour before the scan for the external part of the Ultrasound. Then empty your bladder before the internal scan.

Clothes: Wear loose, comfortable clothes; you may get a gown.

Avoid: Don’t use vaginal creams, medications, or douching for 24 hours.

Relax: Take deep breaths and try to stay calm, it only takes a few minutes.

After: You can go back to normal activities right away.

Is it safe and will it hurt?

Yes, a fertility pelvic ultrasound is completely safe and painless.

It uses sound waves (not radiation) to create images of your internal organs, so there are no known side effects. During the scan, a small amount of gel is applied to your skin, and the sonographer gently moves a handheld probe over your pelvis. You may feel light pressure, but there is no discomfort or pain.

The internal (transvaginal) ultrasound used in fertility assessments is generally very safe and usually minimally uncomfortable.

This makes it suitable for people of all ages, including pregnant patients and those requiring repeat imaging.
