Lost the plot and progynova!

I think I’ve actually gone mad! I was already a bit potty but I think I’ve lost it😂 obviously I’m the usual stressed, and after 4 previous rounds I’m a little on the pessimistic side, but I feel like the tablets are making me more anxious and neurotic! Did any of you ladies find that progynova sent you a bit nuts?!

Love xx

Hey!

I know exactly what you mean, especially now that I’m up to the full dose of 3 pills per day. I pity my poor husband! I’ve been so grumpy, irritable and forgetful. It’s really hard getting through a full day at work and not being able to concentrate. I’m also in the process of buying a new house. Only 2 days till transfer. Can’t wait to be off the meds😬😬xx

Oh god I can’t believe you’re buying a house through all of this!! Yes the forgetfulness is crazy, I just seem to lose words completely, and then start giggling like a mad woman! I’ve actually taken a sabbatical as I knew I couldn’t do another round at school being a mad woman! Fingers crossed for your transfer lovely xxx

I’m so glad you mentioned forgetfulness, I’m forgetting things left right and centre! Am tired and stressed so I had assumed it was that but maybe it’s the pills as well! I’m on three per day, it’s day nine.

I was actually buying a new house when doing my IVF! My mum said it would stop me stressing so much about the IVF and to go for it! Had the FET on 5th October and completed and moved into the house on the 28th October ! Sickness came on the next day after packing and cleaning for weeks! Now 20 weeks pregnant xx 😊

Aw that’s a fab story & gives me hope. 😊I agree having loads going on is a distraction from the FET cycle. I’m crossing my fingers for my transfer tomorrow. It’s touch & go whether the house sale is going to fall through & it looks like we will know for certain tomorrow. It’s strange how things work out but I try to go on with life as normal as I don’t want to put everything on hold. Xx

Yes!! 6 Prognova a day and it's not much fun I've felt quite sick. Although I've gotten worse since I started injecting the Lubion (progesterone) totally nuts!! Transfer day tomorrow 🙌🏻

Would a massage or pamper help relieve some of your anxiety?

Aleelilook in reply toStepharni

6 a day, wow that’s intense! I’ve got acupuncture on Friday and he’s used to my crazy, so hopefully he’ll be able to calm me down! I might see if I can get a massage though x I’ve got to start injecting the prontogest soon, that stuff is like acid going in😂 good luck tomorrow lovely, keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 xxx

Thanks! I had a reiki treatment today which has relaxed me no end I'd highly recommend it, am also booked in for acupuncture Thurs as read it's good for post transfer. I haven't had prontogest sounds fun!!!! Keep the faith xx

Hey Hun sorry to hear you’re feeling anxious. Try doing some breath work. Just concentrating on your breathing when you feel tense and watch as it slows down. In through mouth out through nose xxx

Sorry to hear your feeling this way, progynova definitely sent me bonkers but it was more anger than anything 🙈

It’s such a hard time so totally understandable to be feeling anxious etc, then add all the extra hormones in on top of that 😱

Good luck with your cycle 🤞🙂 xxx

Hi, I had loads of symptoms. I was on 4 a day. Felt so light headed and nauseous on them I had to be in bed for 2 days.

I did find however, that it settled a few days later and although I still had symptoms on and off, it seemed to not be as constant. Kind of like my body getting used to it.

I hope you feel better soon!

How you doing?? Has the acupuncture helped?! x

Aleelilook in reply toStepharni

Yeah I had some yesterday, and he’s left some pressure point things in my ears so I can apply pressure when I’m stressing, and my counsellor recommended a meditation thing so I’ve slept which is good!! Xx
