Congratulations Firefly!!

Primmer - you'll be fine I had thought that the first social worker visit was to check you physically had room in your house for a child & to have a general chat .. Ours didn't look round at all! We sat on the sofa & she very generally went through the processes involved, she asked us a few fairly general questions, & that was about it. I'd spent AGES tidying up everywhere... & she only went in the sitting room!!
Basically I'm saying don't worry too much, they're coming to meet you, not to do a white glove test on your door tops

(((Hugs))) to everyone feeling rubbish, & especially to T2D

Hi QQ, how are you?
Good luck T2D and Peonie and Primmer with all that you all have going on
Hope you're okay BZ

Hope I haven't forgotten anyone, but I know I will have. Hope everyone is okay-just the same old same old here, working hard, getting on with shifting some weight, trying to set up a wee business online and waiting for hospital to get in touch..........

Thanks for the good wishes all.

QQ - the answer is yes, it could be all those things. I've never before skipped a period, or really even had much variation more than a few days. I don't know when I ovulated, but I did know I was in my LP - due to normal bloating, b00bs sore and then I got headaches and cramps to announce AF's arrival (over 3 weeks ago). But she never showed up - which is why I think it is something else. When you skip a period is it like that?

I had hoped it was pregnancy! But that seems unlikely at this stage. At 3 weeks late I should be seeing something on a HPT.

Obviously with the recent history they are much more proactive than they would normally be. The surgeon looked at my ovaries in early Feb (via surgery, so an actual physical look and feel) and they were ok, so it would have had to develop since then. He didn't do a biopsy at the time though.

Anyway, thanks to the joys of private health insurance, I have a scan on Friday. It's been a while since I dropped my knickers for a stranger! :rotfl:I had a blood HCG test today just in case, and FSH levels.

But, I'm feeling better today, after a bit of a stress moment on the tube. Of course, now I have started an investigate, for the first time in weeks my body seems to have slightly come alive - couple of little cramps after the whole area was silent for weeks, so maybe it is just delayed.
I'm glad I will know by the weekend, and of course part of me is still hoping they say 'oh look, that's not cancer - there's a tiny little human in there'. A girl can dream...

I'm not a doctor but a lack of a period plus perfectly healthy ovaries in February doesn't equal something to worry about in my mind.

My cousin's just had a hysterectomy due to suspected ovarian cancer (she's fine, the 'masses' were just cysts) and her symptoms have been nothing like yours.

Cancer doesn't just pop up in a matter of weeks - if your ovaries looked fine in February, I bet you they're fine now.

Peonie wishing you and BZ well for today.
