Yes, one can be completed while you have a period. I was rushed to the ER last week due to severe menstrual cramps, heavy bleeding, and passing large clots. A transvaginal ultrasound was done without any problem, even though I was bleeding heavily. It was not painful or as horrible as I imagined it to be. The technician I had was very kind and supportive, which made all the difference.
