Slightest thing sets me off

[Jrss1]

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if any of you have felt this way; The slightest thing is making me feel sad or angry. This is my second failed IVF. I went straight into another stimulation because time is running out for me. Was it too soon?

My other half just has to say something small for me to lose it. Is this the hormones? I feel very bloated & my confidence has totally gone. I was told by the clinic not to do cardio exercise. This is the only thing that has kept the weight off me before but now I feel huge. To top it off, a photo was taken of me over the wknd and it just made me cry. Feeling sad 😔

Hi honey, it’s totally normal today am on day 10 truest me all through my moods have been low and very emotional 😭 over any petty things. Today being Sunday was the best day for me I recorded myself watching Sunday service and I realised I did jump while dancing 😔😔😔😔 hope it’s still ok. Then I went for small shopping to kill time as I was very great 👍 after few shopping I felt sharp pain on my right side of tummy I phoned my friend as she live next to the grocery shop and she has been part of my journey and she understands the process as she did it before. So she told me to seat down until she comes to take me home because she was eating and had guest well it took her an hour to come when I saw her I started crying 😭 why she came late but I told her it’s pain . ( inside me I was upset why she didn’t come quickly 😂😂) bless he heart she brought me dinner, cake and made sure have eaten before leaving my house.. congratulations to everyone we will carry our Samwel for sure.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks so much for replying Donita33. It helps to know that I’m not the only one. Best of luck with the rest of your treatment xx

Yup, that’s normal... even the slightest things upsets me. Oh, and I get sooo upset and angry whenever I see posts of people who are pregnant/with kids on social media. I find my hubby irritating too. I didn’t get much support from friends and family as no one has infertility issues. I’ve gone through so many rounds of ivf and I’m still waiting for my baby. 😓

Have lots of rest, take a break from work and try again dear, don’t give up!

Thank you Seha04 - I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t had good news yet but I’m sure you will. Don’t lose hope cause I think that’s what we all have to have. In a weird way, it’s good to hear that I’m not the only one who gets irritated & upset. It must be all the hormones running away with us. IVF is so tough, but hopefully worth it for us in the end. Thank you for replying and I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Keep in touch xx

Hi Jrss. So sorry to hear this. However, it seems as if your ovaries are still a bit active, as you are bloated and irritable. Try drinking extra water and have a rest when you can. Just gentle exercises while you are feeling like this, then you can build up when you feel better. Hope that's soon. Diane

Thanks DianeArnold, I’m trying to drink loads of water but I’m going to the toilet about 20 times a day. It just goes through me 😂 I’m feeling a little better today. I think the fact that I’ve had two failed IVF attempts made me a little down in the dumps. I’m on the 3rd day of stimulation today and trying to stay positive. Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to think of me. I hope you have been successful. Take care xx

I completely relate. You sound about normal. I told my husband he could take my picture if he needed to but not to under any circumstances show them to me. I got so angry the other week that I broke a plate. I felt like the Hulk, it was horrible. Hang in there!
