Anyone know if this is normal?

Question

I went and had an ultrasound done today to see if i'm pregnant or see what's going on

Is it normal for them to not tell you anything?

All they said was i will hear from them in 2 business days, they said they have to send the ultrasound to the radiologist.

Is that normal?

If not why did they not tell me and i have to wait again?!

Answer 1

They usually won't tell you anything the doctor is the one that tells you if they would have seen something bad they would have let you know today.  Don't worry

Answer 2

Did u ask questions ur self? I asked questions when I had both of my u/s done. They told me right then and there everything that I asked for. So u just have to ask a lot of questions. Don't be scared. And if u are preggo, we are around the same time. My last period was around the end of april. My due date is Jan 21 and this is my 3rd child a little boy.

And they told u veins they use a second "mouse" on ur stomach that sshows ur veins and how ur blood and the baby's blood flow.

Next time just ask a lot of questions don't be scared....Good Luck!!!!!

Answer 3

It can be normal. It depends on the policies of the place where you had the ultrasound. Some places will tell you what they see, others will not. That sucks that you have to wait!

Answer 4

I just had an ultrasound done yesterday and my tech wasnt really allowed to say anything, all he could tell me was that my pregnancy was in my uterus where it belongs. Im still waiting for my Dr. to call me back

Answer 5

I'm a nurse and legally the ultrasound tech cant tell you the results. Its true that a doctor has to tell you. But I think with a pregnancy they tell you right away.  My guess was either they saw absolutely nothing but couldnt tell you or they saw something other than a pregnancy.

Answer 6

i had an ultrasound before and it was just amazing. i could see my baby in the big screen. the doctor would even pinpoint the head, hand, feet etc to me. i do not want to scare you off but maybe they want to check yours first before giving you wrong results...

just wait and pray... always remember that "everything happens for a reason"

goodluck....

Answer 7

What the heck? How could they not tell you anything??

You were getting one done to SEE if you are pregnant? How come you couldn't take a regular pregnancy test?

I have no idea why they didn't tell you anything. At mine, they tried to explain everything going on. =/

Answer 8

Most technicians are not allowed to tell you anything.  It's a malpractice/insurance issue.  So it's perfectly normal to not say anything.  If this is your regular doctor's office, call him/her tomorrow.  They should have the result.  Let them know your concerns.

Answer 9

If your pregnant its not a good thing the sent the photos some where. They told me they would get back to me with all the results. My doctor called me my mother ( she was her doctor and i said it was ok to notify her of anything) and told her my daughter may be born with alot of mental retardation due to water on the brain. My mom called me and told me and then i called my doctor. They did another one and thank heavens my little girl was perfect ( they told me to have an abortion the first time... that would have never happened) normally sending the photos away means they need a second opinion and something isn't ok. Im sorry to worry you but i try not to lie when answering questions. The people doing the ultra sound may have saw something off and needed a second opinion simple as that or they knew something was wrong and needed a doctor to confirm it. I hope nothing is wrong and if you are pregnant your child is ok.  

Answer 10

I don't know?  When I had my ultrasound done.  You could clearly see the baby by that stage.  So, I honestly don't know?

In my opinion.  That sounds pretty iffy.

Answer 11

All radiologic exams (ultrasound, x-rays, MRIs, mammograms, etc.) are sent to a radiologist to be interpreted. That's the way it works.

Answer 12

That don't sound normal.  If you were pregnant they would have told you at the moment because thats the reason you were there.  If they didn't see anything they would have at least question you about ur menstrual and health and gave you an idea of what they thinks going on.  But of course if you didn't ask questions then sometimes they won't say a thing...
