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.
