Didn’t get ultrasound scan results on day- very anxious!

Hi all, I am on a genetic screening programme and have annual ultrasound scans. All been fine/ nothing nasty found apart from last year where some small gallbladder polyps were found. I'm not worried about the gallbladder polyps. However, the sonographer usually always gives results on the day saying everything looks fine but today she just said she needs to compare scans from today with the ones from last year. Last time a sonographer was a bit cagey with me I was sent for and MRI as they thought they found something (ended up being okay). I feel incredibly anxious about it all. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and just don't need any further testing or stress. Any help or words of wisdom? Do radiologists/ sonographers always give results there and then even if good or bad?

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Sonographers vary as to whether any feedback is given to the patient, and don't usually disclose their findings there and then, as they have to prepare a formal report for the doctor afterwards anyway. I wouldn't read too much into this, and try and keep yourself busy and distracted, and not overthink things.

    Best wishes,
