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...

Any news, t2d? You've not posted for a while. Hope you're OK.

Great news about booking a holiday Tea, just what the Dr ordered! Where are you going?

Massive hugs TCD, hope you get an appointment with the counsellor soon. Try not to worry about your sick note, take the time now to focus on you and if you still feel unable to face work I'm sure the doctor will write you a new note.

Hope you're feeling less teary now PM!

Tea - how exciting! Where are you going? I love any excuse to go shopping

PM they're horrible aren't they? Clomid turned me into a monster, I'm hoping femera is a bit more gentle!

Started my new treatment regime this morning, 5mg of femera days 3-7. Scan next Friday and then on the Monday, I'm guessing my injection depends on what they see on the scans.

Majorca 7 nights all inclusive... so I intend to only shift from my sun lounger to pick up another cocktail.

Clomid is evil, I went a bit mad (madder?) on it. I didn't like menopur either but I honestly think clomid was worse.

Hey everyone Yay for your holiday Tea!! Hope your new regime and scans go well Becca!


Sending massive ((hugs)) to PM and TCD.

I'm properly back at work tomorrow (was off for the whole of last week and then working from home yesterday and today). I'm really, reallly dreading it. I have a horrible stressful job that I absolutely hate.

Big hugs for having a nasty job, hope it goes ok tomorrow. Just keep focusing on the weekend

Hopefully they'll bring your drinks over... then no reason to move at all!!

Clomid made me actually mental! I really felt bad for my DH but I was just uncontrollable!
