Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - March 2008 #1

[*Paula*]

Just a bit of a selfish post for now... im having a really bad day!

Is it possible for the puregon injections to affect your mood? I am feeling so emotional today about everything and everyone. I just feel like crying and crying. But for stupid petty things. Is it just me or can i get away with blaming it on the meds??!!

Hey Paula....
I think your allowed to be having one of those days and yes I will put money on it that it has alot to do with the meds....your whole world feels like it is crashing down on you and for me it feels like..no one in the world really gives a dam and your going through allt his and no one cares.....BUT THEY DO....
You will be very fragile.....'fraggle rock' as my DH calls it.......the meds yu take are pure hormones.....no wonder you feel a little (or alot) crazy........try and take a deep breath and think good thoughts ok......you have to try and zone out from alot of things around you..hard as it may be and sometimes I should probably take my own advice but thats all you can do....crying will only make you more stressed........you need to be kind to yourself...
We are all here if you need to take and yell.........I dont mind you yelling at me....maybe then it will take my mind off my 2ww trying to help you!!

Ok so now the endo is gone and we have seen the FS today we will start a long cycle on day 21 with today being day one (Yes AF arrived about 11) we are underway with only 20 days to go until we are in cycle.

Sorry for lack of personals but a bit cloudy in the head will catch up over the weekend

Thanks Carla, you nearly made me cry again...haha See i feel like laughing and crying at the same time... The weird thing is that im not feeling emotional about the whole TTC journey its really about nothing or silly things.. Oh well, shall see if tomorrow is a better day. Or maybe i just need a big hug from DH.

I was the same on puregon. I would as soon as murder you and then cry over it.
I asked nurse and she said it was the drugs. This helped me a little with the moods. Knowing whatwas causing them, i though i was justgoing insane.

Thanks Saph.. its good to know that the meds have something to do with it and its not just me..

Well im not sure if ill be back in here till Tuesday so have a wonderful Easter everyone!!

Hi Everyone
Just popping in to say I hope you all have a safe & happy easter break!
Have been staying away a bit as a means of focusing on other areas of my life (instead of concentrating on TTC). It has been great.
It sounds like you are all going well.
TL - glad to hear your lap, etc went well & you are able to start very soon.
Paula - I completely relate to how emotional you get while taking puregon. I was an absolute wreck & am completely grateful to everyone around me for their support & understanding at those times. I must have seemed like a bit of a freak to most!
Carla - hope your TWW turns out positively for you.
Miss C - sorry to hear of the BFN. So glad that you have one more try before you head off OS. You are always inspirational.
Everyone else, have a great weekend!
