    I always have the same problem and like you used to worry. But every time it worked first thing in the morning! This usually made my journey to the hospital an uncomfortable one. I told them it had only just worked but they were not worried as long as I had been.

    I suppose it depends on whether it has taken any effect today. Hopefully it has worked a bit and they will carry out the procedure for you. They will make the decision when you get there. Fingers crossed for movement 😀
