i'm finding myself feeling crabby and snapping at my DH and i don't mean to!!

I'm on my 4th day of injections..i wonder if it's making me batty.

anyone have this experience?

deleted_user 10/26/2007

Hell yeah! I was like that using just clomid and then when I did my first cycle with follistim it was even worse. It's a normal side effect though if that makes you feel any better. Good luck to you!

I was very moody and emotional during the IUI cycyel but I was never sure if it was the follistim or just the process in general.

deleted_user 10/26/2007

ok good! not good that i'm glad you guys went through it...but good that i'm not the only one slightly losing it :)

deleted_user 10/27/2007

Oh great, I thought my husband was going to divorce me on Clomid :) I guess Follistim is going to be another adventure in BIT** land. I was not very nice on Clomid, I must admit. I am scared of the Follistim injections, be honest, how bad do they hurt??

deleted_user 10/27/2007

Janlei, the Follisitm injections are super easy and don't hurt at all! I felt they were the easiest injections of all the ones I have used. Good luck!

Oh yes, Thank god my husband is so patient w/ me. I have mood swings like crazy. Been on clomid for a long time and started injections this time around. Good Luck

LOL, I went to my re consult for my IVF and my DH asked the RE if I was still going to be the 3-headed monster on these drugs.

I also feel badly, I just keep apologizing and I go into a different room if I feel I'm going snap

good luck

deleted_user 10/27/2007

yea-the injections aren't bad at all. I look away, but pinch my skin hard so that's all i feel.
you can do it!

deleted_user 10/27/2007

I was so crappy during my IVF stimulation. I felt miserable. Headaches, tired, anxious. It is totally normal. As soon as I was done with stim meds it went away.
Good luck w/ ur cycle

deleted_user 10/27/2007

Hi Yes I did in fact I still am crabby or emotional and not myself at all
I had to stop the injections as was being overstimulated but I'm sure it'll calm down.
I'm sure your DH will understand. Go out for a lovely meal and treat yourselves. Pamper yourself for a bit you deserve it!

Maybe I should print all of this and let my hubby read it. He says that nothing can make me more moody than Clomid.....boy is he in for it :0)
As far as the injections, I've never given myself one, any suggestions on something to practice on so that I know how it will "feel". Might help me know how hard I have to push, etc...... I hope that makes sense.

deleted_user 10/28/2007

Having been on Chlomid for 3 rounds, Follistim for 3 rounds and almost every other fertility drug imaginable in the last 2 years I can safely say that batty/crabby/snippy is the new normal! Follistim does a special number on my mood, it's scary how depressed I can get on it. Hope your husband can understand the potency of the drug.

repronex doesn't make me snappy, just a little fatigued and weepy.sometimes i can cry over commercials.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
