Infertility

IVF meds -- so emotional today :(

I was so happy to have made it the past 10 days on Lupron without any major side effects... and then, bam -- I completely lost it today. I have been a crying, foggy-headed, emotional wreck all evening.

I took my first doses of the Menopur and Follistim today, too, so I imagine it is just going to get more fun. And to top it off, my mother-in-law is in town visiting, and surely thinks I'm losing my mind.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it helps to be able to vent here. If you've made it this far, thanks for listening. :)

Re: IVF meds -- so emotional today :(

  • I have never done ivf...but I know exactly how follistim feels. I always get so emotional on it! I cry for everything. At first I thought I was going crazy but I see the difference when I am on it and not on it. Hang in there. ((hugs))

  • I'm sorry the meds are making you emotional.  I definitely had a lot of headaches, brain fog and moodiness on lupron.  I actually got a lot better when I started the stim meds though.  Hopefully things get better soon.  ((HUGS))

  • (((Hugs))).I had mood swings with this last round too, so I blame the Lupron. I try to be kind to myself while stimming and do a lot of fun things. That seems to help a bit. It also got better after ER.

  • i'm sorry you're dealing with this stuff. it's no fun. i start lupron tonight and i am *dreading* the "lupron fog" and emotional wreck i will shortly become. i hope the rest of your cycle is easy and flies by!

  • I'm sorry!  I can relate.  I got teary eyed the other day while picking out a b-day card for my mom at Target (because of the sentiments in the cards).  Oy.  Also, on the 5th day of stimming, I was weepy ALL DAY.  Strangely, the next day was the opposite--I was in a great mood for no specific reason. 

    It's a roller coaster ride.  I was taking follistim/menopur, so the fact that you've added those to your Lupron is probably taking it up a notch! 

    It's gotta be hard having your MIL visiting; I'm sure you feel you have to entertain & be up.  If she doesn't know about your IVF, you could always just tell her you're feeling "under the weather" so she will understand your lack of energy at least.

     

  • Thanks for listening, ladies. It would be so much tougher to go through all the IF crap without this board -- ((hugs)) to all of you.

    This just brought tears to my eyes. I am such a hot mess! :) It does help to know we're all in it together... and 2011 is going to be our year!
