Hi there, and thank you so much for the reply.

Sufficiently alarmed, I put aside all language barrier problems and I tried to see the local gynae, only to find out that she is on leave. Grrrrr!!! Evenually found another one. I gritted my teeth and finally asked a colleague if she would be willing to interprete via the phone. Went off to the new gyn who told me that Primolut-Nor is a progesterone. Had another ultrasound scan. When comparing the scans from the 16th (which I had brought along) to those of today the new gynae could not detect any difference, except to tell me that my fallopian tubes were in excellent condition. All this is brought to my attention with a mobile phone being passed backwards and forwards between me and her, as the interpreter at the other end back at work was doing her best. At least something was funny! She could not tell me why I was having this period-type 'tugging' feeling, but she did say that I am not pregnant. On the other hand, re. being pregnant or not, I would think that even if I were it would be too early to detect through 'touching' and ultrasound, or?

Anyway I'm exactly where I was yesterday and don't feel any better, but at least I feel that I have done 'something'. Once more, thanks for your assistance.

Best wishes, Snowana
