I had it the other day .... strip from waist down but can keep the undies on they put the goop on the doppler (hers wasn't warmed but the heart ultrasound lady had hers warmed) and they run it down the vein from your groin to your ankle on one leg, flip the towel and then do the other. There is some light pressure - they have to make the vein collapse and watch it bounce back, but it doesn't hurt. This one is cake!
that really is what i needed to know...i feel MUCH better now!!
rofl....and now i can tell hubby that it doesnt MATTER if my undies have holes
ROFL my undies did have a hole in them 
... my leg ultrasound was not orignally scheduled they sprang it on my. And, of course i had on the undies where the elastic was pulled away from the material. At least the lady that did it was very nice, covered me with a sheet and towel and if she noticed she covered very well.

Thanks peggy!! ya, i already had my visit with cole. He really needs to have a nurse in there with him. I wansnt super uncomfortable, and if i would have had to have had a gown on i would have asked for his nurse to come back in. I liked him alot; he seems to be a very good doctor and extremely knowledgable but i know what ur talking about. I didnt have anyone with me. Crysti, I didnt wear a gown or anything it was more a matter of moving the clothes around and all. thanks again for the info on the ultrasound....sounds like one of the easier ones!! woo hoo!!!
Kenny said to call him if they haven't called to schedule by the 12th.. SIGH. *Back to waiting I go...*
