Hi everyone,
So just for some context:
When I took my ultrasound for my copper IUD, just to make sure it was in place, I saw a sign on the wall that said “please don’t ask your ultrasound tech about the results of your scan”. Above that page said something about asking about ultrasounds for pregnancy. So I asked the tech if that warning was just for pregnant people or for everyone. She said it was for everyone and legally she can’t tell me the results… but she basically said “if everything looks well I will make a big ‘blink’ at you”. She was super lovely and by the end of my appointment she was like “… oh, by the way” and she heavily blinked. We had a nice chat and then I went on my way.
Now to the story/ question:
I received a phone call today from my OBGYN’s office saying that I have a follow up meeting about my ultrasound results. It’s on the 6th of December
first thought was straight panic. I do have panic disorder so my first thought was “omg I’m going to go in the meeting and she’s going to tell me that I have crazy cysts and can’t have children”.
But then after my fiancé calmed me down, he said “if it was that serious, I think they would have called you in for a meeting sooner”. Which, that makes sense right?
I then asked my friend who just had her IUD removed if she ever had a follow up appointment after her ultrasound for the same thing and she said “nope!”. And that made me start to panic again.
I guess the question I’m asking is…. Do you think This meeting is going to be a difficult meeting? Why would they call me in to review the ultrasound results? If the tech gave me the heads up that my IUD was good, what are the other possible options or reasons they would want to have an in person follow up meeting?
I’m also just a bit frustrated too becuse if it is just a follow up to be like “yeah, everything looks great!” That means I have to waste a sick day from work. Do you think I could call my OBGYN back and inquire about the follow up meeting to see if it’s anything important? Or maybe just to re-schedule for a time that doesn’t interfere with my job?
Thanks again. I know This post is a bit rambly. I’m just really nervous.
