First Trimester Ultrasound

I had my Transvaginal Ultrasound/Sonogram (TVS) last June 18 to confirm my pregnancy, I was then around 7 weeks preggy based on my LMP. Though at this time we're still looking for a new OB-Gyne since going to The Medical City, where I delivered my first baby, would be too far considering our current address.

As usual, just like my previous pregnancy, I had it done at In My Womb. At the time of this writing, TVS there will cost you around Php1,200.00.

These are what you'll get with In My Womb's TVS service: 2 printouts of the ultrasound report duly signed by the OB-Gyne Sonologist/Perinatologist on duty at the time of your scan, 6 black and white 2D thermal photos.

The ultrasound report says that my left ovary is with a corpus luteum which means my Baby came from an egg in my left ovary. It was also reported that I have a subchorionic hemorrhage, which worried me a lot since in our supposedly second baby I had a subchorionic hemorrhage that ends up as a blighted ovum.

After around two weeks, I had another TVS. This time, since my new OB-Gyne has a clinic at St. Luke's Medical Center-GC, I had my ultrasound there which cost around Php2,184.00. I received a single printout of the ultrasound report, which is a con, since most OB will ask for a copy of your TVS result although that can easily be mended by photocopying the printout (I'm just a lazy pregnant *^_^*). The good thing there is I received a CD containing the scanned images of my Baby which is good since I'll get a good copy of the image by simply clicking Print Screen in my keyboard.

Thankfully, the subchorionic hemorrhage was gone.

Transvaginal ultrasound is a type of pelvic ultrasound. It is used to look at a woman's reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and vagina. Transvaginal means across or through the vagina.

TVS is also used during pregnancy to monitor the growth of the embryo or fetus early in the pregnancy.
