No other reason to post other than vent π I've had my third transfer last Thursday and while the other two were an absolute dream hormonally speaking, this one is making me genuinely crazy. The other two were medicated on the same protocol (one didn't take, the second ended in an MC) and this time we went for for an unmedicated cycle. I've been taking most of the previous meds after I got my trigger shot, with a small exception; I no longer take Duphaston and I got given Heparin shots. The waves of anxiety, panic, anger, sleepless nights and random cry episodes are just something else. It's so bad it's almost comedic; I bursted out crying yesterday watching an advert and then abruptly stopped after about a minute feeling totally normal again. My cat has ostentatiously left the room in a protest of witnessing the drama unfold. I really hope it will be worth it and it's all in the name of a greater cause. I'm very thankful for this forum, it's been a lifesaver. Sending baby dust to you all π

Haha the hormones are such a rollercoaster aren't they!
I actually couldn't watch adverts for the RSPCA as I would just cry.... good thing is it's all totally normal - and although you probably feel crazy it's just a sign that your body is doing it's thing!
after one of my egg collections last year , I was so hormonal.
I went up to hampstead heath for a walk and stopped to pet a cute dog. It was so cute I burst into tears. I mean SOBBING tears. When the owner asked if I was ok, I was crying so hard I couldnβt speak. Eventually I found the breath to say βitβs just your dog is SO cuteβ¦β then started sobbing again. She looked at me REALLY oddly (it was totally justified), half smiled and tottered off.
I still worry Iβll bump into her again whenever I walk there. π
The hormones are wild. I cried reading a BBC news article which I have never done before. Called a plumber yesterday to tell him off for missing an appointment which is actually scheduled for today! Iβm very irritable with pretty much everyone at work, canβt stop snacking and also completely exhausted and falling asleep on the sofa at about 9.45pm. My friend told me to make the most of the IVF excuse and embrace the crazy lady behaviour. Wishing you lots of luck for your transfer xx
I'm sorry to hear that and thank you so much for sharing! I've been feeling pregnant for the first three days after transfer, so way too early and it all went away yesterday, so totally not helpful in terms of what should actually be happening. I've gone through the phase 'its my old eggs' after my first failed FET (I'm 36, but low reserve), now I'm fixated on 'there is something undiagnosed and seriously wrong with me'. Fingers crossed for both of usπ€π€π€
That's not a bad AMH; mine is 4.1 so a bit less, but there is still hope! I think for a while it felt like a death sentence, and at one point I it stopped bothering me, I don't know why. But then I just found something else to worry about lol . Sounds like you're off to a good start! We have a test day scheduled for next Tuesday so still a week to go. How about you?
