I finally had the gynae/endocrine appointment yesterday I've been waiting months for! I'm not comfortable going into too many details, but the doctor said he doesn't think my ovaries are dead, just "stumbling to wake up". He can easily fix my acne and sexual problems with a pill I was on prior to my blood issues, but it affects the liver so he has to clear it with Haematology first (I see them on Monday).

He is also pretty sure that I will be able to conceive naturally when we want to start a family in the next year or few, which is a big surprise!! He took some extra blood tests just to be sure, but looking at my LH and FSH levels, he feels I am definitely pre-menopausal (despite not having any periods post-transplant). He put this down to my 1) not having Total Body Irradiation and 2) having a lesser dose of chemo in my "mini transplant" conditioning regime.

I'm still very glad we froze embryos before my transplant as it's a relief even now to know we have a backup plan, but with my specific transplant and age, I still feel incredibly lucky! And knowing that he can fix my rather long list of problems with a pill I'm already familiar with is a big relief, too.

Have a glorious weekend everyone, and I hope that the weather is as nice and sunny where you are as it is in London.
