Emotional Swing

So although the doctors tell me I am wrong...I am conviced that the injectible follistem makes me a sad mess.

I am in my two week wait and today I stopped and realized I was more like "me" today than anyother days in the past month...and god how I've missed "me." Maybe it's because I forgot my progesterone suppository this morning...who knows.

This infertility thing has turned me into someone I barely recognize (from the weight gain to the personality breakdown) and although I am not at all confident that this IUI worked I actually feel so good!

When I write in two weeks how much my life sucks and how they upped my dose of follistem and added metformin (finally!) someone send this back to me.

Melissa...you are in there somewhere! It was good to see her today!

I think it's pretty crazy that the doctors can tell you you're wrong about how these drugs are making you feel.... This is such an emotional process that even if it's not a side effect of the drug itself, the process as a whole could do those things to you!! I'm sorry I just don't like that your doctors told you that.. it just seems like they are disregarding the way your emotions are impacted.

Just know that you're not imagining things! This process is CRAZY and it can make you just as crazy as well! My advice is just try to keep busy and keep things in perspective. These drugs are to help you get pregnant which is an exciting possibility at the end of the 2 weeks!
