I'm 30 and after all these years of going to the doctor, I still hate the ole stirrup thing. I had my test done today and what helped me was looking at the screen and watching how COOL is was to actually see the cysts with my own eyes. I've had a regular abdominal ultrasound and you can't see nearly as well. She explained where the cysts were and showed me my uterus, everything. She even said the lining looked pretty thick, like I was going to start my period soon.

Interesting thing....the test didn't hurt at all but a couple of hours afterward I felt some cramping and started my period! Yay! Anyway, I think the test is well worth it and I would do it again for how important it is in diagnosing the problem. Good luck to you :-)
