IVF ultrasound & gas

Anonymous
Hopefully not TMI... I've had several ultrasounds during this IVF cycle in which the technician can't see any follicles on my left side-- apparently because of gas. I have 7-9 on the other side. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you turn out to have follicles on the left afterall?

Well...I have a difficult to find right ovary...but no one, not RE, not experienced nurse gave up prior to locating and visualizing the ovary.

Odd...

No, never have been told that. You could try taking Gas-x to get rid of the gas - it is safe even during pregnancy.

Thanks. I fasted before my last ultrasound, and my doctor's office now says I have 1 measureable follicle on the left... turns out gas wasn't the problem. Has anyone else been so uneven?
