Thanks for your reply Its a relief knowing that I don't have to strip naked and that there is some sort of cover. That had me more worried about the whole thing that anything else.

I'm in the process of drinking all the water I can now for my test this afternoon. Then I get the joy of driving an hour to the clinic and trying not to go in the car The joys of being a woman.

I'm 36 and not planning to have any children so didn't really get on top of it when my period disappeared. Not having to deal with it and the expense and trouble every month is indeed pleasant. Though there is a small part of me that feels less of a woman because of it and I can't help but wonder if my lack of sex drive (hope that is not tmi) is because of it or the anti-depressants or what. I'd just like to know what is going on.

And of course I make the mistake of googling PCOS and there's a lot of raises cancer risk and automatic diabetic scary information. I'm already quite overweight so that scares me.

Ah, thanks for listening to me blather. I just have pre-test nervousness.
