The pelvic ultrasound usually consists of both an external and internal portion. The external is done on top of your belly with a full bladder to see an overview of your pelvis. The internal is inserted vaginally like a tampon and gives a much closer look at your uterus and ovaries. This part may be a little uncomfortable, but not painful. It's good to get a "baseline" of your pelvis now so if your dr. wants to have you rescanned for a follicle check she'll have something to compare it to. Also, she can make sure you don't have any existing physical issues that could impair your ability to conceive.
