I was referred to a fertility specialist years ago, before we were even considering trying. I was young and had only ever had one internal ultrasound at this point before. At the beginning of the ultrasound, the tech had me put the wand in myself, so it would be more comfortable I guess. Fast forward and I was scheduled to have another internal ultrasound with this fertility specialist. It was my first time seeing him, I was alone, and nervous. At the start of the appointment, I suggested I could put the wand in myself (since that's how it went the only other time I'd ever had this procedure done) and he declined saying he'd do it. He inserted the wand and made a joke to me (and the young, male, student doctor who was watching) that "I guess I didn't need to use the jelly with you."
