Keep your hair on! + 8 months

Bit of a nightmare getting this damned HSG in the diary.

The medical staff at Nevill Hall weren't happy with the fact the receptionist had arranged my xray for day 11 of my cycle. Obviously, that meant waiting another full month. And I was committed to some time away in London around the crucial days.

Now, because you can't firm up any appointment until your period starts, they usually refuse to schedule anything in until that day. (More fool you if it happens to be at the weekend!) But when I explained my predicament, the nice lady said she would 'provisionally' book me a place on July 29th.

My period started, as I had thought it would, on July 23rd. So far, so good. But when I called to confirm the appointment for the 29th, I was told there's no such thing as a provisional appointment and the slots are now all full until after my time window has closed.

Aaaaargh.

So, once again, I explained how regular my periods are and begged to schedule something in nice and early. She said "okay", so I now have an appointment booked for August 24th. And it is confirmed by letter! Please god.......
