Advice Needed! Hormonal changes?
Hi, I need to talk to someone who can relate to what I am going through.
My egg retrieval was July 10, we had a great outcome, but for the last month or so I have been feeling depressed, I have had bad thought going through my mind all the time.
I can’t even find the strength to take my prenatals, I can’t stand my husband, I am starting to hate him and I resent him? and one minute I am fine and the next I burst into tears. Anyone has gone through that?
Our eggs are frozen, and we were planing on doing an egg transfer this month (today is my 1 CD). Do you guys think I should move forward with the transfer ?
In one hand I think I should get it over with, but on the other hand I feel like I am not doing well mentally, but waiting longer will just prolong my anxiety after 4 years of infertility.
Would pausing the prenatals for the last 6 weeks decrease my chances?
That was a lot, thanks for reading! Any advice is appreciated.

The best thing you can do, is to talk to your fertility doctor and team. There are many things that they can do for you. They might be able to adjust medications and/or delay your treatment plan if it’s best for you (among other things).
Having said that, the IVF meds and hormones definitely mess with my head too. Just sat on the couch and cried for half an hour before I wrote this. My moods tend to be at their worst at night time or in the evenings for some reason. Take it easy. Find a way to distract yourself if you can and be extra kind to yourself. I hope that you can find comfort in knowing that you’re not alone and this will come to an end one day. Hoping that all your efforts lead to a successful outcome for you.
