hi, need some confirmation

Unread post by Aarushi257 »

Hi.
I went for a scan yesterday to check on my cyst and it seems to have drained out.
I was suspecting I was pregnant, but the sonologist did not find anything at 10-11 weeks.
That means I'm not pregnant right?
I have had 9 negative tests on top of this but somehow keep thinking the fact that I have a retroverted uterus has something to do with her not being able to detect a fetus.
Thanks.

Hi Aarushi257,

I would say that the scan not finding anything is further proof you're not pregnant. More than that, if you have had nine negative tests, you can assume you're not pregnant, because getting that same result nine times means it was accurate. Does that make sense?

the fact that it was a transabdominal scan and not a transvaginal scan doesn't make a difference right?

No, it doesn't. Too, if the scan seems to be an anchor point for your anxiety around all this, when you find yourself worrying about it, I would try to shift your focus back to the nine pregnancy tests, since those give you a very definitive answer.
