I am going to be 7 weeks this Wed. I am very happy to finally be able to have a baby but I have been having these insane mood swings. Every night for some reason I just feel soo sad and start crying and its uncontrolable. It is really worring me. I know I am very happy but I feel so sad. I started work today and I felt the same I started getting teary eye, very tired and irritated that I had to leave a little early. I am very worried with my smptoms and to loose my job because of it. Can anyone tell me if they felt this way? I don't know what to do anymore. I am actually crying right now and writing this. Please some advice
I just want to give you a giant hug right now!!!! Although, I haven't been thru exactly what you are dealing with you must give yourself some credit. This IVF road is hard and all the drugs just send our emotions out of whack! At first I seriously had to ask myself if I knew what I had gotten myself into. Then I calmed down and let it settle in and shortly after the shock of it working wore off I was genuinely thrilled!
Give yourself a little time to adjust mentally. Give your body a little time to physically. We are all here for you and will always reply when you need to vent a bit. You are doing great and what you are feeling is normal. Take time for yourself when you can and surround yourself with things that make you happy.
Take care and keep us posted!

Bless you, take care of yourself. I had my BFP after IVF and felt like I'd been run over by a train for the first two months. I was horribly hormonal and irritable - it was hideous. I kept saying the same things - "I'm supposed to be HAPPY, right??"
It's all major hormones, so don't stress about feeling this way. Especially after treatments, your body has been through a lot. Just do your best to relax. The good news is it DOES get better. As soon as I approached second trimester I began to feel happier, and now at 21 weeks I'm very cheerful and relaxed again.
I really feel for you! Congratulations on your BFP and be good to yourself!!!
I was the same way! A total emotional WRECK until about 16 weeks. I think they pump us full of hormones and then we get pregnant but we emotionally don't want to let ourselves get attached because we are terrified that something may go wrong.
I would not let myself get attached until after 12 weeks. I know that sounds so sad but I would just sit and cry. I couldn't take the unknown. On top of all of that I had 2 bleeding episodes, both of which turned out to be no big deal.
The best advise I can give you is to take care of yourself and pamper yourself. Take a bath in the evening and relax. Try to think positively about the pregnancy. And honestly, my husband and I would treat ourselves everytime we made it over the next hump! 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16weeks. Make it a date night and just enjoy in yourselves and most importantly just BELIEVE in miracles because you have one growing inside of you!!! Your going to be just fine!!!! HUGS!!!

Thank you all soo much, I feel a little better but for some reason when I get home I start feeling really emotional. I guess it could be my hormones and I also have OHSS which is not helping much. I am very happy to have my baby but I wish I could be happy all the time. I just cant wait till I have my first u/s and hear the heartbeat.
aww, hang in there. i've been feeling the same way. people will talk to me about my pregnancy and i cant seem to muster up enough enthusiasm. today i woke up feeling like i'm actually depressed and on the verge of tears all day. completely out of character for me, i think people are surprised by my foul disposition (especially at work).
its got to get better! know you arent alone.

I know what you mean. Tuesday my eyes were filling up with tears here at work and everyone was asking if I was ok. As much as I try not to feel that way I just can't. But I know we are all very thankful to GOD for giving us these little precious gifts. I just think we have been thru much more than a couple who can just get pregnant whenever they feel like it. I am glad though that we all understand eachother and can talk to one another.
