I just read that one cannot get an accurate reading if the bladder is
full, and they made me drink 32 oz of water...I am not sure why it is so
small, my uterus is extremly small also I read that it should have been
done with a endovaginal probe. and that excessive bladder distention
gives a false elongation. (so it could be even shorter! I guess I just
should have kids then, is sounds like I would have a very high chance of
loosing them
write back.
