Hormones!#@%!

SmilesMcGee · June 2015

Very few symptoms this far (4w3d) but yesterday afternoon definitely brought on a crazy lady hormonal roller coaster..... anyone else having spells this early? How is DH handling it?

I have found myself getting all teary eyed over stupid things, like things on Pintrest or commercials ha ha ha. Other than that not too much but I've always been very low key and never got that emotional even with my first pregnancy.

I find myself more easily irritated, not necessarily emotional. I basically have no tolerance for anything at work already, which is bad news. I also feel terrible that my three year old has been wearing on my nerves SO easily recently.

I'm constantly hot and cold all the time. So annoying!! But good signs I guess

Luckily (or unluckily), my DH has been through this before. IMO, weaning was much worse than anything I experienced during pregnancy for mood swings (other than crying at things all the time - which I did this morning).

This almost exactly. I would take pregnancy hormones over the hormone drop of weaning any day. I cried when I watched the State Farm commercial this morning. Geez!

I somehow missed out on weaning hormones...but by the time I cut my son off he was 2.5 and only night nursing.

However, I've been easily irritated and today almost burst out crying at swimming lessons because a life guard jumped in to get a kid in my son's class who got off the stairs and couldn't swim or barely keep his head above water. I had to think about chocolate cake to control myself.

@kandb521 ME TOO!! What's up with that???

I cried watching a recap of American Pharoah winning the triple crown. Embarrassing lol

minivanmafia · June 2015

Im with you ladies.. its hasnt been that bad the last few days but when I found out we were pregnant over the weekend I was extremely hormonal. I am an emotional person anyways so I have promised my hubs that I will try my hardest to not be too crazy.

MarcoMama86 · June 2015

My hormones have been raging going into week 6 (every other pregnancy symptom has gotten worse too). Yesterday I cried watching Toy Story 3-the end when Andy was playing with his toys one last time really got me. I also have been very irritated very easily the past few days.

DH told me yesterday that he's just going to expect me to be hormonal and cranky from now on. He actually said it in a more insulting (yet joking) manner, but on top of being hormonal and cranky, I'm forgetful. So far, he's done pretty well with it. I had a meltdown on Monday and he gave me a spa day (well, it was meant to be a "done with grad school" present, but I got it early anyway).

I've been hormonal ever since puberty so I can't see a difference. I'm always quick to cry or snap and get angry. I hate it but it's how I've always been.

hecallsmekhaleesi · June 2015

I am not usually super hormonal but I have definitely been feeling the Claws of Esther (estrogen) around my brain ...sometimes I am overwhelmed by heartwarming stuff, like commercials or even out of the blue ... Other times I want to rip somebody a new one so badly.

g0lightly8706 · June 2015

oh thank god this topic was started!

DH just joked about how his new company car is a stick shift (which he doesn't know how to drive) and he said something like "maybe I'll get in an accident and then will get paid leave" and I started bawling! dude, he should know not to joke about getting in accident, especially when your emotional wife is carrying your child! I was an emotional person before but now Im noticing Im crying at the drop of a bucket.. Though this was a good lesson for him to realize just how emotional I am lately. but seriously, he should know better not to joke about that with me!

chimaerakaren · June 2015

Agreed, perfect timing for this post. I am an emo wreck today! Over the last few days, I noticed that I was getting super angry at drivers on the road and now today I've been up and down the roller coaster a couple times. Name an emotion and I've had it x10. I feel like crying right now...for no reason! I wish I could say a commercial or movie was to blame.

So weird.

Me too! It's driving me nuts - I'm sure it's not easy on them either!

robinj716 · June 2015

I have noticed a huge difference in my moods. I have such a short fuse! It's terrible and I hate feeling this way. I'm just entering my sixth week.

g8trkim · June 2015

I was an emotional wreck in the days around BFP. Yesterday I was so irritable with the kids and DH. I knew I was being a total witch when I got mad at my son for chewing too loud.

Shatzegirl · June 2015

I am SO hormonal this pregnancy. It's like PMS on overdrive! I hate it.

I hope it'll pass soon. My husband is handling it pretty well but I'm sure it'll start to wear on him after awhile.

mamaek · June 2015

Wow. H came home from work for lunch and brought me lunch. I started crying when he hugged and kissed me hello because 1. I feel bad I haven't cooked for him or done anything around the house due to feeling sick. And 2. Because I didn't want him to go back to work and be left alone.
It's funny now hahahahhaa. What?! When did I become so clingy?
He's been such a sweetheart

hope it stays that way X_X

LittleMcG · June 2015

I literally started crying on my way out the door for a work trip last Sunday. And I almost cried today on the plane back during a movie. I don't usually cry at movies.

katiett · June 2015

Yesterday at the grocery store I nearly cried bc my cart was broken and wouldn't turn worth shit and I had already put items in it and I didn't want to have to start over. Then tonight I legit started crying because I was so proud I cooked dinner. What the what?? Haha
