There's arguments that it should only really be used for checking progress of women who actually have OC to see if treatment is working or not. Definitely not that reliable an indicator which is why it is always used in conjunction with a pelvic scan.I didn't know that, I've always been tod it's to check for cancer, though it has always been done along with a scan.

Thanks Penguin. I've read it online now. It's handy having a doctor in the family especially in the current climate. My son met a GP who was previously a cancer surgeon. I'm encouraging him to keep her as a friend!
