[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there’s another tech at that office, ask for her. Otherwise, it sounds bizarre but give her one more chance. If things are weird next time, just talk to your doctor about your concerns. [/quote]

OP here. Hopefully I do not have to go back to this office. The doctor there ( who is not my obgyn) recommended that I do transvaginal ultrasounds. She said we can see if my obgyn is ok with this. She wanted me to consent to this treatment and start scheduling them every 2 weeks. This was all based on what I told the doctor about my previous premature birth. They did not have access to my records. I don't think I actually have incompetent cervix. This is the first time I have ever heard this.

OP here. I spoke to the nurse at my obgyn office this morning. She called me back this afternoon to say I do NOT have cervix problems. My doctor does NOT want me to do transvaginal ultrasounds. The one from yesterday was not necessary. I did meet with a high risk doctor at the office yesterday but my appointment was rushed. The doctor from yesterday did NOT talk to me about my ultrasound results.

Do NOT agree to transvaginal ultrasounds. I've had a lot of them because of my endometriosis and they're not comfortable. It's creepy they would suggest it for a history of preterm birth. My first was born at 32 weeks, and my high risk OB did not suggest TV for my second pregnancy.

I ended up leaving my high risk OB to go to a midwife practice because of other reasons, but you can leave that practice too and go to another OB.[/quote]

OP here. Good to know. They were pressuring me to do these every 2 weeks from 18-24 week's. I even had to sign a paper saying I would not consent. I told them I wanted to run it by my obgyn first and figure out insurance costs. The ultrasound tech told me several times it was based on the fact that they thought I had an incompetent cervix. I did have 2 ultrasounds at this office yesterday. One was the anatomy scan and then a transvaginal ultrasound.

I had an incompetent cervix (preemie). For my subsequent pregnancies, I had a cerclage and transvaginal ultrasounds every 2 weeks. It is the only way to reliably measure the cervix.

People on the internet who have no idea what they are talking about should refrain from giving bad medical advice. [/quote]
