Today is just a horrible day! Still not feeling a 100 percent from the ER and had to go back to work. This morning I was upset my pants didn't fit at all and definitely couldn't be buttoned! I was upset that I had to get decaf coffee to avoid caffaine right now. Driving was hurting really bad with hitting all the bumps! So I started to cry on the way to work. At work sucks, because I'm still in pain and walking slowly but trying to pretend that I was out for strep throat! And then lastly been using endometrin starting yesterday morning and those have been miserable to deal with!! Still need to pick up some stole softner because apparently I have to go but the kind I would need to push and I don't want to because it wil hurt! So today I went to go take my lovely afternoon endometrin and it wouldn't go as easy because of the BM that's pending so here I am trying to shove it up there with my finger. I instantly just broke down hysterical crying in the bathroom at work. Plus better yet, I've gone through like 10 panty liners already with I assume is gook from the procedure and the leakage from the endometrin bc it's pinkish pasty. Ugh I'm a freaking mess!! Sorry TMI!! I just know that you guys are the only ones who know what I'm going through and understand my breakdown! No one else has a clue unless they have to go through this.
Vent over! Just sitting here hysterical crying having a bad day. Stupid question and I can assume the answer, but does the progestrone make you super emotional???

5 rounds of clomid, 3 IUIs, and multiple non-medicated cycles- BFFN IVF with ICSI in August 2013 brought us our babies. ER-9R, 7M, 4F w/ICSI ET of 2-Grade 2 blasts.
+ HPT at 6dp5dt. #1 (8dp5dt)- 105 #2 (13dp5dt)- 510 #3 (15dp5dt)- 960 #4 (17dp5dt)- 1889 Dx shortened cervix, PTL, and preeclampsia during pregnancy. Lots of medications and 13 weeks of bedrest, babies were born healthy at 34w4d!
I'm so sorry you're having a bad day...it's completely unfair and just sucks! I have days where I go from happy to instantly hysterical for the smallest things and it's so hard to hold it together when you are feeling so miserable. I don't have any advice on the progesterone as I haven't taken it yet but I would assume any additional hormones being injected into your body could have those side effects. Hope you feel better soon and it's all worth it.
I'm so sorry you're having a bad day. hugs
I feel like you and I are in the exact same place from everything you describe so I can completely sympathize.
Progesterone in the past had made me super weepy or raged. I started it yesterday and am already feeling complete loss of my emotions. None of the other meds ever made me feel this way except progesterone.
Hang in there!

Arrrrrrrrgghhh sooo sooo sorry Irish!! I think your emotional from all the estrogen.. I'm not sure if the progesterone does make you emotional but possibly could since all the hormones are off whack anyway. Think of it this way you are almost there... my nurse did recommend lots of panty liners for vaginal inserts.. so I assume its from those too. I too feel super bloated pants bulging I'm pre-ER too so it's only going to get worse. Drink electrolytes to get the water moving out and as far as stool I'm sorry too because I feel so backed up it hurts. Nothing is easy about IF or this journey of IVF only the end result. And that is very close for you.. hugs and sending love your day gets better xoxo
