Progynova anxiety

[CharcoalLab]

Hello all. I’m currently 12 days into an FET, taking x4 Progynova each night before sleep. The last few days I’ve been feeling super anxious - overthinking everything, so many thoughts going round in my head, cannot seem to shake it. I’m wondering if the drugs cloud be making me feel like this and am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar? Feel like I’m going crazy!

I was on 3x progynova and it made me very tired and I did not feel great on them either. I spoke to my consultant and was able to reduce to 2. I was also on patches. Perhaps speak to your clinic and see if they can modify your protocol? Good luck x

Thank you for replying ❤️ I have a follow up scan tomorrow so I’ll defo mention how I’ve been feeling and see what they suggest. I also know that if I get pregnant I’d have to take the same dose of oestrogen until I’m 10 weeks so anything that can be done to minimise me feeling so anxious would be good. Xxx

Your treatment + medication + stress can all sometimes increase your awareness and cause anxiety Try talking about it to your OH and try some relaxation techniques [ breathing exercises - yoga - mindfulness ] Also maybe try some counselling which should be offered whilst on treatment

I've had anxiety which for me was definitely the drugs. It isn't like my normal stress but I suddenly felt panicky and physically stressed (even when I didn't have any reason to be stressed) for no reason. I found it particularly bad when driving. Are you taking all four progynova at the same time at night? I usually take 3 and space them out through the day.

Oh no, that doesn’t sound good! I’ve been a bit better today but I’m so up and down it’s crazy. I’m taking them all together yes. I’m worried to take them in the day in case they make me feel sick, but might have to give it a go if this round is successful & I’m on them for weeks!

Might be worth a go. I get a little nauseous about an hour after taking them after a couple of weeks but nothing horrendous and it doesn't impact my day at all. Just thinking if they are causing it taking them before bed must be horrendous - anxiety right when you need to sleep!
