I am feeling so upset right now after having an internal(transvaginal) scan done for IVF treatment,as it was done very roughly by the Dr and the next day I had bruises and pain in pubic area from where I had been prodded so hard.My GP sent me into hospital to see a gynae Dr who was unsympathetic and as he had never heard of or seen such bruises before and thought the scan an unlikely cause,and asked if I had fallen or something.I have now completely lost confidence with my clinic,who my GP told me he would inform of the injuries he had seen me with,and feel so low as this was going to be my last try at IVF and I can't change clinics halfway through treatment and it has cost me £3000 for this bad treatment so far.I keep crying and so worried about the rest of my treatment as next appt is in 3 days.
Has anyone or do you know of anyone who has also had a bad experience like this with scans.

I am so sorry you have had this experience. What a shame! It's awful. This infertility stuff is hard enough without being mistreated by a health care professional. Was a nurse present during the exam? Is there another doctor at the same clinic you could see for the duration of the cycle? I'm thinking of you and hoping you're okay. Please let us know how this works out. You don't deserve this at all!

Thanks CHGH fro your kind words.Because of all the stress my bad treatment caused me,I have had to stop this cycle of IVF and my complaint is being investigated,the nurse was in the room but taking notes about the scan from behind the curtain.I have had about 15 scans in the past 4 years and never ever had such an experience before.All this will now cause 2-3 months delay before I can consider another try.If only the miracle would happen and it wasn't necessary.
