The drugs didn't really affect my mood. The Syneral gave me a headache for the first few days only. I was a little bloated a couple of days before EPU and had mild period type cramps for about 3 days after EPU - some people don't get these cramps. My mood was affected by TTC and not really exacerbated by the drugs. I guess there was a bit more expectation with IVF because I knew that at least conception had taken place.

In regards to weddings - I was bridesmaid for my sister whilst I was on injections to stimulate ovulation (just prior to IVF). I could never do the injections myself and my injection was due during the photos. My sister who is a nurse did it for me in the toilet during a short break. It's kind of funny now....as we look back...me hitching up my dress and she injecting me in her white dress.

I was a bit like Loula and didn't want to waste any cycle/chance. It is really up to you, the risks you want to take with dates and times.

The other thing you could do is go on the pill (you will anyway if you do the Down Reg cycle) and stay on it for a week longer before starting the syneral. The extra week shouldn't hurt and it could help time your cycle to miss the wedding but allow a cycle to occur in that month.
