Tips of Painful Ultrasounds

I am a 30 and been thinking about doing egg freezing for a while but have never successfully made it through a transvaginal ultrasound. It so painful that I can never make it through the exam

I also struggle with pelvic exams and paps, I find them excruciatingly painful but at least those are once a year and very fast.

I don't want this to be the reason I don't freeze my eggs as it seems like it could be avoided with some kind of meds but the doctor I went to totally dismissed my pain and said I just need to relax more and breath through it. I don't think thats a reasonable answer.

Wondering what the ladies of reddit have done with similar experiences?
