You know you have extra hormones raging in your system when:

[k1111k]

I was just on my RE's website watching intro video interviews of all my clinic's REs.  Pretty music plays during the interviews and at the end of each, a quick 3 second timelapse snippet is shown of a single cell embie dividing into two and it makes me tear up!  Ha!  Only a day or two longer on these crazy meds

Are there any weird emotional triggers you ladies are experiencing nowadays?

[tumbleweed]

Basically, if anyone is nice to me, I have to hold back tears, while I'm cycling. I'm pretty much a mess on these meds. k1111k the dividing embie would make me cry too.

[NariaDreaming]

I'm just a raging bitch.

This.

[k1111k]

tumbleweed - I can relate to that...when I sense someone cares, it's all over And NariaDreaming, I can relate to that too...poor DH, I can be fing fierce without cause!

[k1111k]

Well, actually, there is cause because IF sucks and is completely unfair!

[juneroses]

I have a huge amount of rage for the show Jane the Virgin....which the advertise constantly while I am trying to drown my sorrows by binge watching TV.

Other than that, yeah, if people are too nice it makes me want to cry too. I went through a year like that after DH got over a life threatening illness.

[vballbaby]

I would tear up to so many random songs those last few days of stims! Now my freakin boobs are starting to hurt I'm guessing from the crinone.

[lillee]

juneroses I have never seen that show but the advertisements also make me ragey.

During my mid year review this year one of my team members brought up how they never know when I'm going to get angry at something. I felt bad because I know it was the stupid hormones. I think I did a much better job covering up my crazy feelings the second half of the year.

[gobucksoh]

I have been very weepy for no good reason.

This is me and I'm not even on hormones yet. Ugh, not looking forward to starting those next week.

 This is me, too. And I'm not on any hormones.

I've also started tearing up whenever there are sweet mother/daughter moments in shows - watching Gilmore Girls made me so dehydrated.

Me too, but I think it's just PMS.

I cry and get ragey all at the same time. Over stupid shit.

This exactly. I was talking to MH earlier this week and started crying. He asked why I was crying and I said "I don't know!" I literally couldn't explain why! I think IF in general heightens emotions and then you add the hormones and all hell breaks loose. 

[Ann612]

I weep at commercials and when I get angry, I'm like the Hulk.

Ditto.

I threw my phone across the room last night because my husband wouldn't take the dogs out.
I stormed out of the kitchen this morning because my husband asked me to scramble him eggs. (I was already making some for myself).
I curtly told my boss to stop calling me with questions and to put all of her questions in an email and send them to me. <--that didn't end well. oops.


ETA: details.

[tumbleweed]

My H and I have discussed what we'll do if this cycle doesn't go well. We cannot afford to cycle again (totally oop) but even if we could, I don't think that I could ride the emotional/hormone rollercoaster of stimming again. It's been a giant test of my H's compassion that we've survived five medicated cycles. The clomid ones were terrible and the BCPs these last two IVFs made me so angry it's embarrassing. I feel like I've spent the last year trying to act normal, while fighting off tears, anger and general loss of ability to control my emotions. In many ways, I'm glad this is my last banking cycle before doing an FET. (((hugs))) to all those hormonal and otherwise.

[NariaDreaming]

You know you're pumped full of hormones when


1) you take a 3 hour nap on a Saturday afternoon
2) You break down in hysterical sobbing worried that your dogs will never have a tiny human sibling to play fetch with....



#1 occurred after #2 today

[lemonliz]

Hugs, tumbleweed. And NariaDreaming. Hugs for everyone.

You know your extra hormones are raging when YH lets you buy $60 worth of fucking tea from Teavava and says nothing except "yes, dear, fine dear....mmmm yummy tea dear" because he's probably afraid your rage might turn into an explosion of tears.

[tumbleweed]

NariaDreaming Amazing!!! So amazing.

lemonliz you should look into Harney and Sons tea. They're available on Amazon (and many of them are Prime eligible). I stock up once or twice a year

[tumbleweed]

lemonliz hmm, my H just bought me a bunch of fancy tea too -- under the same conditions...

[tumbleweed]

NariaDreaming and lemonliz Harney and Sons rules. The factory is not far from us. And, it's a family business, as the name states. Our realtor is a Harney daughter (the Harney mother owns a real estate agency) and when we closed on the house, we were give a giant gift basket of Harney tea. All of it is awesome. I especially like the Wedding tea and the Ginger Licorice tea.

[lemonliz]

Totally looking up that Harney & Son tea now NariaDreaming and tumbleweed (but seeing as I have just blown my tea budget for the year, I will likely have to postpone buying any for a long time)!

[kcheese]

I cry over the stupidest things on TV. DH must think I'm crazy. I ask him all the time "is that sad or is it just me?" I can't even tell anymore

humblebee this made me laugh. You pretty much did or said what we normally internalize

[karenb676]

Oh my goodness I know the feeling, I was at a conference for work and they were showing a commercial about a woman and her dog, how they grew up together.(it wad used for educational purposes)... I balled. My coworker, thankfully who knows what is going on with me gave me tissues. I couldn't stop crying and had to leave the room and go to the bathroom. I was embarrassed.
It is nice to have others in the same boat.
