...just keep having little crying spells for no reason at all. I disappear into the bathroom, cry for a few minutes, then go back into my office. There really isn't anything wrong, so I don't understand it. I do test tomorrow, so the wait is almost over. Maybe that's it. I'm hoping that the crying is because of being pregnant, but am afraid it's just the progesterone...

Does the progesterone do that to y'all??

Sorry to say it, but yes...progesterone always does that to me. Plus, makes my bbs so tender. I hope you get your BFP hunny. Good luck, I'll be thinking of you!

The progesterone makes me very emotional - sometime I feel like I am going crazy. Let yourself cry - get it out of you. I am sorry that things are tough.

I think it is probably a mix of the meds and the emotions involved with this whole process. I found that it was a good two months after my failed IVF's before I really started to feel like "me" again. (then I jump right back on the hormonal rollercoaster again!)

Try to be patient with yourself. It is okay to feel how you are. I find if I get upset because I am "upset" or crying for no specific reason I am aware of, I get more upset.

Good luck tomorrow!
