Does anyone else become an emotional, irritible, bitchy basket case around ovulation? And I should mention that there are no drugs involved right now as we are in the waiting period before Lupron. It's all me...and I am a mess!
Oh most definitely... that's when all of the mixed and messy emotions come in: Will this work? Is there hope? Taken together with: This could be it! We actually have another shot! I turn into a bit of a mess for sure. Hang in there... thinking of you.
I'm just as moody around ovulation as I am when I'm PMSing. My poor husband gets one and a half weeks of be being normal and not hormonally influenced, or when AF is here. Kinda super sucks for him. :)
I was so relieved to hear this...I was JUST thinking the same thing yesterday. I *hopefully* am Oing right now, and I feel so emotional/sad/overwhelmed etc. I am happy to blame it on the hormones :)
thanks for sharing your comment on my latest post. so interesting that your therapist brought up the blogging- to be truly honest with you some days I have to catch myself and try not to spend too much time on the blogging world. It may sound awful, but I find myself only the people who "speak to me" and who are able to mix positivity and humor. There are certain blogs I have avoided just because I know that I need to ignore that these terrible things exist. It must sound horrible right? But you said it right . . .I feel like I belong here. My blog and following others is the only solace every day that I don't have to be ashamed by this journey and I know I have instant support - which is more than I can say about many of my so called friends.
as far as the holistic approach . . . I never ovulated on my own with any meds, but was able (after only 1 month of acupuncture) to ovulate- although it was "poor" ovulation. After 3 months of acupuncture and a month of Fertility Blend my cervial mucus has improved, my temperatures have improved, my ovulation isn't as delayed and I have ovulated on my own!!!! I have seen more progress than with any Western meds. I will say that I have done no caffeine, no alcohol, and very minimal excercise. Here's hoping it actually works for me- but I have at lease seen progress- as opposed to what western meds were doing to me.
Mid cycle? lol If only it was JUST during midcycle that I am an emotional basket case!
ReplyDeleteOh and . . . always, always, always blame it on the "hormones"- drugs come and go by the hormonse will f*** you up forever!
