I think I have to be realistic - he can´t see anything! Or??? :bigsmile:

I just want to update that I saw my doc today again and I asked about the gel and the ultrasound probe. He told me that he puts the gel under the condom. He said it is not necessary to have it on the condom (as long as the vagina is not too dry). So the gel is not in contact with vagina. He said he does not like that procedure.

Ok thank you for updating!!!!!!

My experience with the "delightful" (NOT) transvaginal ultrasound was that they used GOBS of lubricant outside the condom, but aparently not everyone does so. Thank you!

My experience with the 'dildo cam' (and I didn't make that up, that's really what the IF girls call it), is it depends on the clinic. Most places I've been to put gobs of gel on, both underneath the condom/cover and on top. I've never not had gobs in me, yucky blue oozy CM after scans everytime. :P

And this is at IVF clinics so I assume they think it's ok.

:agree: Yes exactly!!!

Thats my experience. I've recently been to the best Eco Men in town and he put under and on top as well.
I think it depends of the doctor.

this turned into a strange, yet informative thread LOL!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences gals!
