Re: 2nd Request: Measuring cervical length on ultrasound From: Jas (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sun, 30 Aug 1998 16:05:06 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Patti Tessler, FNP: "Re: Stopped taking Birth Control Pills" Previous message: Patti Tessler, FNP: "Re: Estrostep FE" In reply to: Jas: "Measuring cervical length on ultrasound" I have an incompetent cervix and a cerclage that was placed at 11 weeks. At 10 weeks of pg they did a baseline measurement of the cervix with an endovaginal probe. I have been told that that is the most accurate type of ultrasound method to measure cervical length. The other day (I'm 16 weeks) I had an ultrasound done again to measure the cervix length but this time it was done as an abdominal scan. My cervix measured 1 centimeter shorter than it was at 10 weeks of pg. I am in a bit of a panic, because any shortening of my cervix concerns me. Can anyone with ultrasound experience tell me if the 2 different types of ultrasound methods that were used could account for the 2 different measurements? Could it be that the abdominal ultrasound was not as accurate and made it appear as if my cervix has gotten shorter or am I kidding myself?
