I'm no longer listening to people who tell the horror of medical tests. Having blood checked weekly hurts; this was easier than eating.

I'm curious if others have had the test.
an ultrasound will hurt a small amount, it is just that most techs push the probe in too far. My wife is an ultrasound tech, and I have had about 20 scans by her and her friends when she was in school. The only pain with that is that area is a sensitive but is not anything to worry about. Just take your thumb and push it in under your breast tissue - its a sensitive area.

an ultrasound will also take a bit longer, at a hospital if they do a full protocol ~ 20
to 30 minutes - if it is a quick and sleey place like 10 to 15 mins
