TTC #2 since July 2010
Day 3 of stims

in TTC after 35
Can I just say that I would rather stick myself with ten needles a day than ever go back on BCP's? I have been somewhat MIA because I was horribly inconsolably depressed the entire time I was on BCP's. It was awful. I'm surprised by my reaction because I was on them for years and never had any issues. I'm feeling much better now that I am off them, despite having four shots a day. I go in for my first monitoring u/s on Wednesday.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and good luck to everyone who is in the shiit with me. I hope that we get some BFP's around here soon!

Re: Day 3 of stims
I'm right there with you! I was on BCP for years and never thought anything of it. I had to be on BCP almost 6 weeks and it about killed me. I was moody and think I was slightly allergic. I itched all over the entire time.
I'm just a few days ahead of you on stims. Today will be day 8. I had another u/s this morning and my ovaries are finally waking up. I think my ER will be next Sunday or Monday. What about you? have you had your first monitoring appt? How are you feeling?
Fingers crossed for both of us!
After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
No heartbeat at 10w6d
FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
It's a boy!

I had never been on BCPs in my life until IVF, and I completely lost my mind on them! When I started stims I felt so much better that I was convinced the stims weren't working. My DH told me they must be doing something because "you're the sanest, most even-keeled and most pleasant you've been in weeks."
Glad you're past that stage. Good luck with this cycle.

I start BCP's this week but I've never had issues with them in the past, I hope the next two weeks won't be so bad. Now you're making me worry!
Good luck to all the ladies who are currently stimming!

I'm with you on the BCP's. I'll never use a hormonal type BC again. I like know what's gong on with my body and the hormones mask everything.
Good Luck this cycle!

Don't worry. Not everyone feels bad from them. If you do, it will be worth it to get your body into baby making shape.
My first monitoring appointment is Wednesday. I am feeling fine so far - just a little bit bloated. Good luck to you!!

I'm glad you're feeling better now that you're on stims. Fx for a good monitoring appt on Wednesday.
The same thing happened to me. It didn't happen right away, but I got super bitter and angry around day 20. Worse thing was I had to be on them for 7 weeks with only 2, two day breaks. Thankfully the breaks helped.
I was on them for >10 years and was fine, or so I thought ...
I start BCP this week and I am freaked out. The last time I took them, they made me crazy....to the point my boyfriend was worried about my safety. Not that I would hurt myself, but I would leave candles burning and the stove on for days at a time. He'd find the milk in the bathroom cabinet. It was bizarre.
Come to think of it, that was my last serious relationship. LOL!
Glad you are feeling better.
Completely understand! I was an angry crazy person on BCPs... like my anger would flare up and I would feel soooo irrationally angry and then 10 minutes later feel like - what the hell just happened to me?? (cue twilight zone music) BCPs are from the devil.
