I was supposed to go in for a sonogram yesterday, but there were horrible storms overnight Wed/Thurs that knocked out some power in the area. The office called and rescheduled me for today. They must have been trying to play catch-up all in one day, because the waiting room was packed when I got there! I felt kinda bad that I got called back so soon when some of the women had obviously been waiting a while, but I ended up only seeing a sonogram technician and not my doctor, so that probably explains it.
I guess I was expecting her to kind of fill me in on what she was seeing. The only other times I had sonograms was when Dr Nokleberg was doing them years ago in Round 1 (that's what I'm going to refer to our initial infertility problems as from now on! LOL!) She would show me the screen and explain what she was seeing. This technician just quietly went about her work and only spoke to let me know when she was inserting or shifting or removing the sonogram wand. She looked at both the right and left ovaries, as well as took several shots of the uterus. At the end, she told me that she will give the information to Dr Lopez and Judy (Dr Lopez's nurse) to review and diagnose, and Judy would be giving me a call probably middle of next week. I'm sure she knows what she's doing and got sufficient pictures and data to give Dr Lopez everything she needs, but I guess it just makes me feel a little weird about it all. How can a doctor make a fully informed diagnosis if she's not seeing it first hand? I guess we'll see.
