High anxiety and emotional

[Littlepeax]

Hi guys, started taking my meds on Tuesday for my FET. 6mg of prognova and buserelin. Today I am so emotional and my anxiety is through the roof. I feel very sensitive. I know bloating is a side effect (I have awful bloating) but are these feelings from the meds do you think or just me? Did they make anyone else feel like this? ❤

Totally how I felt! Sorry you’re going through it - it’s horrible 🙁 You’ll feel much better as soon as you stop taking the meds. Xx

Thanks Jo for ❤ hope you're doing well

Hello Little Pea! ugh so sorry you're feeling rubbish. It's totally normal and I imagine a combination of the meds and all the uncertainties of IVF. Feel free to DM me if you need to vent! PS Buserelin plunged me into a lot of mental distress too! xx

Thanks so much Redsequin ❤💫

Aw love. Out of all my treatment I found that buserelin affected me the most mentally.

I know it’s really hard but try to remember it’s all in the mind. You’ve got this xxx

it's such a tough process let alone the medication, I was terrible with our second transfer, felt hopeless and like it was pointless as it wasn't going to work, but fast forward and here he is. it's natural to feel so pants and filled with aniexty. there is no reason why this time can't be your time. you've done so well so far and you can keep on going. hold onto the thought of your babe getting nice and comfy in a few weeks. feel how you need to feel, but then end that day with a positive thought, because your gonna get to where you want to be and every day is a step closer xxx

Prognova definitely caused me anxiety and emotional up and downs. I told my husband I don't think I can do it as I was surprised by how much anxiety it caused. I am not sure if Buserilin had the same effect on me but my thoughts are your feelings are from the meds.

Thank you ❤

Of all the many meds I've taken for IVF the only one that really affected me significantly I think was bloody progynova! I've never even taken it I'm actual IVF but had to take it recently as part of my implantation clinic's standard protocol leading up to my endometrial biopsy. I HATED it. Annoying I had to take it as my lining has always been fine and I ovulate etc. It made me very emotional, anxious, had bad vertigo type feelings a few times, mother of all headaches after stopping.... hang in there Lovely! Xx

Thanks hun ❤💫

Same here, I had constant headaches and checked and found that it also elevated my BP. Due to this, progynova was stopped and within a week, pressure went back to normal. Absolutely the worst medication I've taken.

My clinic called Buserelin ‘witches brew’ as it was sooooo horrible!! Thinking of you, crossing my fingers and wishing you heaps of luck xx

Hey there. You and I may be on similar schedules. I started my buserelin on Monday this week. I was also feeling really bloated and yesterday cried in the car listening to the radio. My husband just laughed at me, actually felt better after the cry!! Still feel like I’m living on a knife edge, irrational tears may come at any moment!

[Littlepeax in reply to Rollercoastersmiles]

This is very relatable 🙈 I kept crying yesterday and my husband was like why you crying and I was like I don't actually know 🤷‍♀️😢 super emotional. But felt sooo much better after a good sob. ❤ hope you're doing OK and excited for your FET xxx

[Rollercoastersmiles in reply to Littlepeax]

I’m so excited! It’ll be our first ever transfer! I hope you’re excited for yours too! 😬😬😬

[Littlepeax in reply to Rollercoastersmiles]

Ahh is it 🤗❤ that's very exciting. Huge good luck to you. Yes I'm excited too. Going to transfer 2 embies! So hoping for the best 🙏 keep me updated with yours. Xxx

[minnesota_girl]

Oh my, yes. I've been so emotional this cycle and so up and down!! I think these drugs take whatever you're feeling and amp it up to the extreme.

I wish you all the best 💞💞

[Littlepeax in reply to minnesota_girl]

Yes very true ❤ thank you xxx

I'm glad it's not just me. On Buserelin and about to have my baseline scan tomorrow to check I can start on oestrogen. Have been in tears and really distressed at points every day since I started taking it. I have high anxiety normally and it's gone through the roof. Hang on in there.

[Littlepeax in reply to Simmokt]

Thank you 🤗❤ you too. Hope you're ok, message me if you need to xxx

[Westcoastwestie]

I started Buserelin the other week. The exhaustion is what got me but the emotional was certainly there. I had just assumed feeling tired was making me feel wobbly.

[Shireen1]

I just want to wish you good luck with FET! Fingers crossed that this is the one!

Thanks Shireen 🤗 hope you're doing well xxx
