UPDATED: FET meds sucks really bad, may be the end of this cycle

I'm on day 14 of meds for an FET and I as of this moment I am calling the whole thing off. I have been irritable, depressed, anxious, angry, moody, and miserable. I called the nurse at my REs office and she said there's no issue with stopping, my cycle might be a bit messed up but eventually I'll get a period and things will go back to normal. 

They offered to do my next ultrasound early (tomorrow instead of Friday) and see what's going on, if I wanted to take one more day of meds. then I could talk with the doctor while I'm there about the issues I'm having. I don't know if she can prescribe some kind of anti-depressant or something to combat the effects, who knows. 

They are going to see if the doctor can call today when she is in between surgeries. 

I talked to the doctor about doing a natural cycle, she said she doesn't like to do those because they aren't as successful, but I am wondering if that may be a better option for me given the issues I'm having. Surely they would just monitor my lining and see if naturally it's where it needs to be and if not, then not thaw the embryos right? I mean, it doesn't seem like we'd have a lot to lose. 

Any advice, thoughts, ideas appreciated. I thought about XPing on the IF board as I know lots of those ladies are doing or have done FETs but maybe I should remove my ticker and LC info from my siggy first? 

UPDATE: I spoke with my RE on the phone and we agreed to cancel this cycle (she will give me something to start a period) and we'll try a natural cycle, though because of the holidays it will have to wait until January. I've been doing some research on natural cycles and I think that will be the best thing for me. No icky meds (except the PIO but the only side effect to that is the butt lumps) and people who have trouble with a thin lining on medicated cycles (which I did with femara and with the fresh IVF cycle) can sometimes have better results with natural. Two of my three pregnancies have occurred on natural cycles and the 1st was a later loss so obviously my lining was fine on 2 of the 3! So it makes sense in my mind that natural would be best for me. 

Thank you ladies for all your advice and kind words!

    I'm sorry, I know the meds can be really rough. I had an injectible cycle which isn't what you are going through, but I know how medications can affect your entire being.

    Hoping the RE gets back to you soon. Hang in there!
