What do I do about tomorrow?

Tomorrow I'm scheduled for a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound and I'm new on birth control and I've been having, at times, heavy breakthrough bleeding. So far today.. I haven't been bleeding... but I have been for a week.. so there is a chance I will be tomorrow.
Is that ok? Or will I have to reschedule? Thanks! Just thinking in advance!What do I do about tomorrow?
Ultrasound technologists have done many a transvag. u/s on bleeding women! You are not alone, and we are not upset about it. Remember that we do transvag u/s on pregnant women who are bleeding in the middle of a miscarriage. We also do transvag u/s on women who are having DUB (dysfunctional uterine bleeding). It is just all part of the job. Keep your appointment, and just tell your technologist when she brings you into the room that you are bleeding. No worries!
um idk but I would just reschedule
Yes, you can still go. Do NOT reschedule.
I was having my period when I went to have mine a few months ago. They need to see what the problem is. Your period will have no effect on the test.
Before she has you put the probe in, you will have to remove your underwear, pee and remove your tampon first. They have pads there and they don't mind if you bleed on the table.
