I asked what is she talking about and she said this blood >vessel is pulsating and it is connected to your heart. This is almost certainly the iliac artery, which lies underneath the ovary. On vaginal ultrasound you can often see it pulsating next to the ovary. It's a perfectly normal finding (in fact, if you didn't have these, you would have no female organs or legs). However, if you are still concerned, the easiest solution is to obtain a copy of your ultrasound report. If it does not mention any blood vessels (and I sincerely doubt it will) then it's likely nothing at all is wrong.
