****SORTED**** :O))))))))))

Aaww thanks Julie Anne & Lunar :O)) Lunar - a baby was never in my life plan - but I have to admit that having been faced with the prospect these past few weeks - (yes weeks as I have already done a home test 4 weeks ago lol) - I have been kind of warming to the idea - last chance saloon kind of thing - still these things happen for a reason and in reality I am not really in a position to cope with having a child - ce la vie !!!!!!!!

Anne, Is that good or bad news then??? So no baby on the way just now, well I blame stress and anxiety for the little hiccup, the human body responds to less stress sometime so we forget we are stressed. It's the knitting that does it, dropping that one little stich and then having to go back and sort it out!! I'm sure you would have made a fabulous mammy to a very lucky child Anne! LT xx

its not fair you have to wait till end of april , that seems long time, i hope you feel better soon,

LATEST NEWS..................... Got results 24 hours earlier than expected ...... I will NOT be knitting mini-scarves or any other mini-items for that matter :O))) So now I just have to play the waiting game - then go back at end April if still nothing !!!!

Thank you Kate :O)) x

Anne, I know very little about this subject but, I hope you get this sorted quickly and your feeling better soon, Kate x

Good to hear Anne, Hope everything is soon sorted for you and hope the news has cheered you up a little. Best wishes, Lin

Poor Anne, Go along to the doctors, it may not be the Change!!! I am on HRT and couldn't live without it, but I had no choice...(Hysterectomy at 36) You might just need a pick me up.. Go Now. Kila xx

Liz/Purple P - I am keeping everything crossed - I don't DO 'smaller' scarves lolol xx

Your very Welcome : )

Thanks Ade :O))) xx

Anne - you might have to start knitting smaller scarves????!!! lol Only joking, hope you feel better soon. Liz

Hope things get sorted soon for you Ade xxx

UPDATE ................ OK - my GP being the efficient GP he is, want's to rule out the most obvious possibility for my 'no show' .......... so I left clutching the obligatory sample bottle LOL (result Tuesday) His opinion is that I am not premenopausal cos I am too young !!! Should have told him my Gt Gran gave birth at 37 and went straight into menopause lolol Anyway - the other possibility is that the Progesterone only pill that I had been taking (newly prescribed 3 months ago) has most likely surpressed my normal cycle. If the 'test' comes back negative (fingers crossed) then he wants to wait until the end of April - if still no show by then, he will progress with further tests :O))) So - it's watch this space as they say ........... Many thanks again for all the comments, advice etc xxx

You must get checked out at the docs but take a look at your diet. Drink lots of water, so many people are permantly dehydrated. Go buy yourself a juicer and drink as many vitamins as you can. Eat raw nuts etc. Your diet is not a cure but it does give your body the best chance of fighting.

Hope your feeling better. Reading this made me think of my dear mother... feeling knackered as she would say and with swollen ankles, thought she was going through the change bless her.... was in her 40s too... lets just say I'm in my mid 30's with a teenage brother..... x

Thanks again for more messages etc :O)) Dee - I am nearly 43 - so the probabilty is quite high!!! Maybe I can get a hypnotist to tell my brain ovaries are not working so it will stop LMSO ............. Bl*ddy hormones - who needs em ???? lolol

Hi Anne...don't know your age..40 something perhaps??? So it could be menopausal symptoms. Problem is, that your ovaries stop producing eggs regularly, and your pituitary gland (somewhere in your brain) keeps pumping out ever increasing amounts of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to try and get the ovaries to respond. It is high levels of FSH that give rise to the horrid symptoms of the menopause...and a blood test can verify whether high levels are present. This is known as the peri-menopause. I remember feeling terrible for quite some time during this peri-menopausal period...(I didn't want to take HRT and I so I went cold turkey as it were)! The good news is that there IS life after the menopause..and you WILL get back to normal again... Best have everything checked out at the Doctor's so you know for sure what the cause is...sometimes even knowing helps! Hope you soon feel better xx A very happy post-menopausal... Dee x

Anne, go and see your doctor, ask them to check your thyroid levells, it sounds very much like thyroid, i have an overactive one and i get very tired with it, i've had it for over 2 yrs now, and the levells fluctuate all the time. chris.
