Success after IF

Don't feel like myself

Hey girls. I guess I just need a vent/advice.  Ever since my transfer I have had a headache everyday and so tired and so moody and sensitive.  Of course I chalked it up to the fact that I was pregnant and then that I was having a chemical.  I really thought I would feel better after my period but I really don't. It took 5 days to get my period after PIO and I just stopped today. Can I still be adjusting hormonally??  I guess I just feel super hormonal.  Combine that with my disappointment with the chemical and being  upset I have to add more hours at work for insurance for IVF and I just feel so upset and crummy. Can anyone relate??  I am just so in a funk.  I don't feel like talking much.  I haven't posted much.  I wanna nap every day.  I have sliced my finger on a knife TWICE this week.  I just can't get out of my own way Sad I broke down and cried today.  I just want to feel better and feel like myself again.

  • Oh boo!  I'm so sorry.  You can expect to feel crappy for a little while, everything that you have been through isnt fair.  Take some time for yourself and try to get in a few good cries.  Watch Oprah or Lifetime or some sappy movie with a pint of Ben & Jerry's.  You'll probably start to feel better once your hormones even out... not fun.

  • I'm so sorry.  I'm sure some of it is hormonal and some of it is that you have gone through a loss and the grief process affects us all emotionally and physically.

    I hope you are feeling better soon.

  • I know exactly how you feel. It took me about two weeks after our c/p to stop feeling flat-out crazy. I still don't feel totally like myself and it's been about 6 weeks now. To be honest, I had been staying kind of above the depressed IF feelings I had while TTC no. 1 until after we had the c/p. Now I feel like I've been sucked back there. I don't feel any excitement or positivity, just going through the motions hoping we get a sticky baby. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but I'm not really far enough removed yet...but I can certainly relate. *hugs*

  • Thanks girls.  I think it is just a big mix of things right now between the chemical pregnancy, hormones readjusting, dealing with IF in general.  I was really removed from it until we started the FET process.  I thought it would be easier with #2 but no dice.  Thanks for being here.  On a positive note, DH and I and my sister and her fiance are going out to see Dave Attell (a comic) in Boston and then out for some drinks and fun.  I am really looking forward to a nice night out.  Thanks again.
  • I love Dave Attell!  I hope he can put a smile on your face for a little bit!!  (((HUGS))))
