Emotional mess throughout cycle?

in Infertility

This is the first time I've had ovulation induction and I was always under the assumption that the emotional ups and downs were during the time that you were actually taking the medication, not afterwards? I had no problems while taking the Letrozole, nothing during injects, trigger shot was fine, but once I was a couple of days post-IUI, I've been on a horrid emotional roller coaster. I've gone from angry rage to breaking down and crying in 6 seconds flat. About 10 times an hour. Every single day.

Please tell me this is just from the meds? I feel like I'm going nuts over here!

    I know how you're feeling.  I don't know if it's from the meds or not, but that has happened to me after every treatment cycle.  MH and I think it's partially just the fact that you're to a point where there's nothing else you can do.  During the medication phase you're proactively doing something to prepare for the procedure.  Afterwards, all you can do is wait.  It's torture.  But, I'm also sure it has a lot to do with the medications as well.

     I hope you start to feel better soon!!  ((hugs))

    This is an excellent point! I`m very goal-oriented and need to feel like I`m working on something, otherwise I just feel blah. Being off work for a couple of weeks probably isn`t helping with that! Although my coworkers think I`m nuts enough as it is, they`d probably have me committed if they saw me like this!

    I think that it is both the meds and the stress of the process.  If it makes you feel better I felt the need to tell mh every little thing that he has ever done to annoy me this morning.  But he thinks it is cute and possibly a good sign.  His optomism can be pretty annoying too :P
