Crazy from drugs? AF? Or just crazy?

Post by Lauri »

Hello all - I am on my 7th day of Lupron in prep for our first IVF cycle. The last couple days I have felt intense anxiety and a sort of crawling out of my skin type of thing. Now mind you, AF is here and I also have had issues with anxiety all my life, managed well at this point by regular therapy and some tools I've learned. It's tough to be on these fertility meds because you never really know if that is what's bothering me or if just regular monthly hormone changes are getting to me. But I am uncomfortable and Bi-tchy. I so want to be past all of this.

Can anyone relate? I'm just trying to remember to do all the things I need to take care of myself and take pressure off.

Thanks for listening!

Lauri,

I'm on my 10th day of lupron on my 3rd IVF attempt, I'm still waiting for AF to arrive, i've had brown discharge for the past 3 days but still not full flow.

I never suffered from anxiety attacks with the past 2 attempts, but with this one, i get them a few times a day. I also have palpatations now and then.

I'm very emotional and lose my temper very quickly, but DH says thats normal... :wink: :wink:

Hope this is of help to you. Good luck with your cycle and wishing you a BFP.

Sending you lots of sticky baby dust.

Lauri,

I just wanted to share with you that when I was on the lupron and stimms I was an emotional wreck and very moody. My husband wanted to ship me away until it was over LOL I was very hard to deal with and lost my temper very easy. But, its well worth it now because I just got a BFP yesterday!!!!! So hang in there it is an emotional roller coaster!

Take care and lots of luck to you!
