Last week I was suppose to do an IUI, but let's just say things didn't work out. I got the HCG shot on Thursday and Friday was the day for IUI but instead of making the deposit....my husband freak out. We ended up have sex that night because I wasn't going to was this HCG shot. Right? Now, I think I am experiencing residuals from the HCG shot. I am moody as hell and my boobs hurt. I refuse to believe I am pregnant because every month it is a big fat NEGATIVE! I have 1 child already and we still have all of her baby stuff because we wanted another child. Well, I am taking matters into my hands and I am going to get rid of all of that stuff because I am coming to the conclusion that this path might not be for me. (See what I mean, I am just to emotional right now. What the heck is going on?)

its called hormones honey. they take over our lives while doing them. the thing is, it really depends how much you want to have another child. we dont have any yet, and my dh is taking all my shit and abuse because he knows its the hormones and he wants children and he knows that's what we have to go thru. it is not fair that we need meds to have a baby, but at the end, it will all be worth it g-d willing. so keep your chin up and try to take this easier. and at the mean time, enjoy your child. enjoy what many ppl dont have. feel how blessed you are. maybe if you concentrate on your child instead of the fertility it'll be easier for you to concieve. good luck and baby dust.

I think I did have emotional side effects from the HCG shots I've taken (3). Now can't swear it's the HCG only because of all the other hormones prescribed in the IUI and IVF processes however my first shot I noticed a pronounced difference: took the shot and a day later I was a sobbing mess. All of this treatment--the drugs, waiting, uncertainty, negative results--is intensely stressful. Know that there are people out here who get it. Best to you.

I ahve been alittle crazy myself lately. it sucks I yelled at my hubs and DD today and it was unnessacery. I'm currently in my 2ww on clomid. which I like to call clomood.

these hormones really play with your mind. I was an emotional mess pretty much all through each IUI. The 2ww is the worst. You convicne yourself one thing 1 mintue and then another thing the next. It is such a roller coaster. I did have one friend who was scheduled for her IUI and her DH backed out the last minute as well so they BDed that night and she got pg so don't give up hope yet!

Yes, I agree - it is the hormones. Are you on clomid too? I was so crazy on that drug. The IVF nurse calls it the devil drug. Take care sweetie and don't make any rash decisions right now.

Meds or no meds....this whole process is frustrating and stressful. I agree with Rachm - try not to make any rash decisions.

I can understand your emotions.I am so frustrated and moody especially when AF comes.Yesterday at work people were complaining about kids on halloween night(me included)and as a side note i said "I hate kids". I feel so bad, it of coarse is a lie.I don't know if I said it just out of mood swing mode or I'm trying to prepare myself for never having kids.Either way i shouldn't have said it but I did.

I just did my egg retrieval yesterday and I am a mess. I can't stop crying. I didn't sleep very well last night. My emotions are all over the place. My anxiety is acting up fierce. I keep trying to tell myself it is the hormones but it is just so hard to keep my head straight and make it through the day. My Transfer is on Friday and I am so nervous that I am stressing so much that it will not take. I have been needing to take Xanax to calm down and sleep. What am I gonna do after the transfer. I am sooooooo scared!!

I hate HCG for the reasons you just described. It does the same things to me and also makes me sick to my stomach. Hopefully you will get a BFP soon and won't have to be on it much longer. Good luck :)

HCG shot gave me those symptoms, too. My boobs always hurt after and it plays with your mind thinking you really are pregnant during 2ww. When can you test? Good luck.

It is TOTALLY hormonal! This is our 5th IUI cycle and if it doesn't work, it will be the last (at least for now). I have been an absolute mess through this journey and the roller coaster just keeps getting worse with each failed cycle. This past week, I started off my cycle with a whole day of crying followed by a whole day of being grumpy. I HATE this hormonal crap I'm putting myself through, but I know it will be worth it in the end!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
