TTC after 35

Holy crazy mood swings

I know that I have been injecting a high amount of hormones into my body for several months, but I really haven't noticed much of a change in my moods. Until the other day.

I was HOT about an issue I was having with my satellite radio in my car, it was shut off due to their error, but I was seriously not dealing with it well.  God forbid I don't get to hear Howard Stern when I want to.  I do feel awful for the way I was talking to the customer service rep, but both he and the supervisor I talked to were not really being helpful, they kept explaining to me and I just wanted them to shut up and fix the problem. I spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to get problem solved, and then when i went to listen to the radio later that night, it was still not working. I mangaged to calmly discuss the situation with a supervisor today and I think we have it fixed now.

I knew I was being a b*tch and I tried to calm myself down while I was on hold with them. But it was crazy how I could feel this weird churning of emotion inside me and I knew it was unreasonable and yet I couldn't get it to go away.

I also got really annoyed with DH for something that he did that he really should have checked with me about first and I really got snippy about it.  I managed to keep it in check for the most part with him, I really don't like to snap at him, but I was reallly worked up about it.

I think  my annoyance with him is what set me off at first so the satellite radio person had no chance from the get go, but that is no excuse.   Seriously, it's satellite radio, I am aware of how ridiculous my reaction was.

TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.

  • Ugh, that sounds like hell. I have only had oral meds, but I know how it feels to be swallowed by those emotions. It's a horrible, out of control feeling. I also had to reply to this thread because I am a Howard Stern fan, so I can relate to you on that note too. Smile

    SO funny! It's amazing what sets us off.

    I thought I was going to have to call a divorce lawyer yesterday when DH refused to baste the damn turkey the way I wanted him to. I went off on him! Definitely a hormonal breakdown.

    Then I grabbed the dog and went on a walk with my dad who said "Sometimes you just gotta get out of the house." Words of wisdom after 35 years of marriage.

    Hang in there. And satellite radios break down so much, those folks must get irate calls all the time.

  • At least you all have the hormones to blame!  I lost my ever-loving mind on the phone with Southwest Airlines.  I was actually screaming into the phone, crying like a crazy person -- all over a $50 ticket reissue fee.  Completely crazy.  In retrospect, I felt bad, but in all fairness, when I asked to speak to a supervisor, the agent told me she was the supervisor.  I said, "you are in charge of all customer service for SW Airlines?"  She parroted back, "I am the supervisor."  AAAAHHH! 

    I thought TSA was going to intercept me at the airport based on my behavior on the phone.

  • I hear you.  The hormones do awful things to me as well.  My last Clomid cycle I was a b!tch on wheels.  I'm just waiting to get the crazy as my progesterone builds this cycle.
