Vaginal Internal Ultrasound...

Is it really necessary to have this done when you go to your first OB GYN check up?
To make a long story short, back in 07 I was pregnant and was referred to a doctor at Palms West. He told me it was mandatory to have this procedure done. It was very painful, I told him so, and he kept right on going. When he took the probe out, the entire thing was bloody. I never had bleeding problems up until this point. It took 1 week after that exam that I had continued to bleed and then I was admitted to the hospital only to find that I had miscarried. The doc told me I was 4 months. I just want to know, do you HAVE to do this procedure when you go to your first check up? Because I now think I maybe pregnant again, I REFUSE TO GO AND GET THIS DONE! IF THEY WANT AN ULTRASOUND IT WILL BE MY TUMMY!! thats it. Please tell me your opinions on this matter. Thanks guys.
Absolulty not. You can refuse any treatment or procedure. I assume you had to sign a consent form? Do you think the procedure caused you to miscarry? I am so sorry for that, either way it had to be hard. I have only had one when viewing things were not possible with abdominal ultrasound and if there was an issue that needed checking out. Not as a routine ultra sound. You are the last word in what is done to your body, just say no.
