Preliminary mammogram results are often available at the time of the test, if the radiologist is available to read the films. If not, the results should be available within a few business days.
No, the word "mammogram" should not be capitalized within a sentence unless it is at the beginning of a sentence or part of a title.
An ultrasound is ordered if the radiologist sees a suspicious area on your mammogram. Often this is dense tissue, but, still, you should follow up rather than taking the order casually.
Particles from these products can get on the breast or film holder and may look like abnormalities on the mammogram film.

A mammogram.
No you should not have a mammogram during pregnancy at all. If the doctors think there is a reason to examine your breast tissue there are other tests, like an ultrasound that can be done. (Besides double ouch!!) If you had a mammogram before you were aware of the pregnancy, discuss the possible problems with your doctor or midwife.
According to the following article, this should not be a problem. However, I suggest talking with your physician or the radiologist. http://www.iem-inc.com/askq31r.html (Try GOOGLING "mammogram while pregnant")
Most women have no symptoms after a mammogram. Women who find the compression uncomfortable may have some fleeting and minor breast tenderness after a mammogram.
A script for a mammogram may say "malignant neoplasia, other" because that is the purpose of the mammogram. The mammogram is a screening test to look for cancer ("malignant neoplasia") of the breast.
I would definitely say wait until after your mammogram to get pierced
