We report the measurement of the a-axis fluctuation conductivity in zero field for Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x microcrystals. A good geometrical characterization and an original method for data analysis allow to determine its temperature behaviour to a high accuracy. The correct application of the complete fluctuation theory [A. A. Varlamov et al., Adv. Phys. 48, 655 (1999)], with a minor correction for the k_tilde factor, leads to the conclusion that the anomalous MT term is the most important contribution throughout the whole temperature range of interest. More traditional alternative interpretations of the experimental data are also investigated and their inconsistency is demonstrated. This implies an s-wave symmetry for the order parameter and could provide a physical mechanism for the preformed pair scenario.
