Need to vent...Anyone had mood swings or other side affects from Synarel?

Hi girls sorry but had a really bad day today...
Just wondering if anyone else has had side affects from Synarel. I have only just started taking it for 3 days but am extremely sensitive and moody..
Also put on so much weight in between my last cycles that i have been trying so hard to get fit and lose some weight before we start our next cycle in Oct, but to no avail its so depressing and i know its for a great cause but it doesnt seem to make me feel any better when i cant fit into clothes especially when i have 2 weddings coming up, arggh.
Im sure tomorrow will be a better day and im praying that round 6 will be the one for us not sure how much more i can take emotionally, physically and mentally.
Been a long road and starting to take its toll.
Sorry for the rant but had to get it off my chest

:doh:

Hi Blossom,

Big hugs hun!

I had shocking side affects with it. The mood swings, extremely emotional and the hot flushes were the worst for me. I also found around day 5 the headaches started.

Fingers crossed this is your lucky month!

Hi Blossom :) sorry im not much help but i wanted to give you a big :hug: and i hope your feeling a little better! I was on lucrin for my STIM so im not alot of help, i delt with the medication really well but once transfer came around all the hormones in my body hit home, i felt like i had depression again and all i could do was cry, i was told from my nurses its very normal because our body's are being pumped with hormones that arn't natural, so dont give your self a hard time and you deserve to have your down days, i will be honest and tell you i do and im sure every other lady going through this does too. After each failed cycle i always say to my DH i don't know how much more of this i can go through physically, emotionally and financially but once i have a clearer mind i always manage to pick my self up again and have that power inside me thats say's 'i cant ever give up'. Just remember tomorrow is a new day :) Best of luck for your next cycle i wont be too far behind you xx

Thanks girls I feel better already just having someone who
understands how I feel and somewhere to vent!
I don't often have these days. Tomorrow is a new day I'm going to make sure it is a good one and get back on track to positive and happy vibes..
Good luck to u both, sending lots of babydust to everyone x

Hi Blossom,

YES! I had 2 days where I was a shocker on synarel. I would actually go into shops and pick a fight with the shop assistants. It was the only way I could vent my hormonal rage. My boss told me to go home one of the days as I got annoyed in a meeting (which was totally out of character for me, but can I just say, totally appropriate for what was going on in the meeting :) ) and told one of the other bosses exactly what everyone else was thinking :ROFL:

You're not alone hun. You're pumping your body full of hormones, it's bound to take it's toll.

Hugs :hug:

Day three was a shocker for me.

Spent the whole day in tears and almosts cut off all ties with our bestfriends because they were pregnant and I couldn't handle it.

Keep battling, it does fade after a few days.

Lots of love and good luck with your journey.:pray:

i was a bit ummmm "feisty" to use DH's term!

Synarel puts you into a drug induced menopausal state (hormone wise) so think of all the moodiness and stuff that ladies go through at change of life, and condense it into a few weeks - it's torture! worth it for sure, but it's hard to deal with at the time

Hi Blossom,

I could have written your post (except I'm up to cycle 5, rather than 6). The whole thing sucks. Especially the wieght gain bit. I feel like I'm in cheapo version of 'The Uniform Project' (that woman who wore the same dress every day for a year to raise money for charity). I wear the same skirt every single day, as it's currently the only thing I fit in to and I've spent so much monies on ivf, acupuncture, herbs etc, I don't want to splurge on new fat clothes!

I just caught myself building up to a rant with my other half, before I managed to catch myself, amazing how quick the drug induced hormones kick in!

Good luck. Hope you end up with success soon.
