In the words of Victor Meldrew, "I don't belieeeve it!" The hospital rang at 11am to inform me that my laparoscopy and hydro-tube-whatever has been cancelled tomorrow due to a major surgery on another woman. Initially I thought "sod her, what about me?!" but now I have calmed down a tad and realise it must be important (although quite why they can't operate on her this evening and do a little overtime is beyond me if it's that urgent).
So now I have to wait a whole 5 weeks and stew even further about the possibility that my tubes are all furred and twisted up. My new date is Friday 13th June – so it's unlikely to be good news anyway! I'm so distracted and annoyed I'm getting sod all done today, although I am making alarmingly good progress on a pack of Marlborough lights and penguins (of the chocolate variety – don't call animal protection, I'm not abusing actual penguins). Even more annoyingly, I've ruined a pair of new contact lenses with much crying – I might bill the NHS for £10 seeing as it's their fault.
It's very frustrating as this means we have missed out on a possible conception this month, as we were banned from trying before the op, and now we have to wait a further month – it may not be a long time to them, but to us it's two missed opportunities. I'm Day 17, and did an ovulation predictor test earlier which had a faint line, but it could just be the end of ovulation – I'll have to do another tonight and see if the line gets darker. Maybe we could still have a chance.
