This photo demonstrates normal pelvic anatomy.	The photo on the left was taken before uterine suspension, and the photo on the right was after the uterine suspension. Uterine suspension was performed laparoscopically.	This is another photo following uterine suspension. The uterus is now anterior. It was very posterior and the patient had significant pain with intercourse before the procedure. Her pain is now resolved entirely.
This is a normal SIS (saline infusion sonogram). The uterine cavity is entirely clear and there are no filling defects.	This is a 3-D ultrasound picture taken at the time of an embryo transfer. The catheter containing the embryos can cleraly be seen in the middle of the uterine cavity. We do all embryo tranfers at the time of IVF with 3-d ultrasound	This is a photo of the area behind the uterus. Small implants of endometriosis can be seen (arrows). These are the classic "black" implants of endometriosis.
This is what is known as an Allen-Masters defect. These are defects in the lining of the abdominal cavity that occur with endometriosis and often associated with pain. Endometriosis can be seen at the base of this defect.	Another photo of classic endometriosis implants in the cul-de-sac (area behiond the uterus).	Polycystic Ovary. This ultrasound picture is of the ovary of a young woman, 5'4" tall weighing 110 pounds. It is very large and clearly polycystic.
This ovary is from the same thin woman with pcos. Each of the small dark circular areas is a small follicle. This is a classic ultrasound picture of PCOS.	Ovulation has just occured. The follicle is irregular and collapsing.	Both ovaries in a heavier woman with PCOS
A series of photos from an ovarian diathermy procedure.	This is a corpus luteum. After an egg is released, the follicle that contained the egg becomes a corpus luteum and produces progesterone, the hormone necessary for implantation and pregnancy.
