Missing right ovary, where has it gone?

[ndw76]

My wife recently had a pelvic exam prior to us trying to get pregnant. The doctor explained to her that everything is ok. But the doctor did not explain something on the results. Part of the results reads IMP: -No demonstratable right ovary or right adnexal mass. I understand that not demonstratable just means that the ultrasound couldn't see it. However my wife, who loves to believe the worst, thinks that it means it is not there and some one has some how taken it. Can anyone help me relieve her concerns. Is it common for an ultrasound to not be able to see an ovary when it is in-fact there?
Thank you for any help you can give.
Regards,
Nathan

I had to laugh at that. "Where'd it go?" and that someone could have stollen it. FUnny. But I'm not sure. I never heard of them not being able to see an ovary. She might want to call the doctor and ask about it if she's worried. I have heard of getting a cyst and having it pop and causing the cyst to pop but I'm sure that would have been real painful if that had happened. I had a cyst and it was painful and it didn't even pop. It went down on it's own. Just have her call the doctor and maybe ask about getting another sonogram.

Yeah, she would definitly know if someone took it... I think the doctor may have just not found it. I could have been behind her uterus. There are times where it is very difficult to be seen. Don't worry, if she hasn't had it removed, it's still there.

I AM SORRY BUT LOL! i had my right ovary removed following an ectopic and believe me honey she'd have known about it if someone had taken it!!! it's more painful than labour and it's at least 2 weeks before you can walk properly again.
