downregged and grumpy

I took my last BCP on Sunday and had a baseline blood test today. The results came back good, so i'm officially down regged.

I start my FSH (Gonal F) shots tomorrow morning. yay!!

The last few days i have been feeling horrible - with massive mood swings and lethargy. I didn't think it was possible to be so filled with wrath the one minute and be so teary the next! I might be getting sick but i think it's most likely thanks to lucrin and plummeting hormones....


Here's a quick run down of the last few days...mostly for my own documentation. Hopefully it makes some sense...

Sunday- Had a fight with DH, can't remember exactly what it was about now but it resulted from my bad mood. I spent most of the day sleeping. Went to the movies with a friend and watched 'Marley and Me'. I bawled my eyes out!

On Monday - Worked. Went to the gym and did a Body balance class (yoga,tai chi, pilates). I sucked! Last week I could do the class, but this week I felt weak and nearly lost my dinner all over the wood floor!

Tuesday - We drove 1.5 hrs to the city to pick up our new car from an auction place. Yay for new car!!! Boo for incompetent auction place! !!!When we got there we waited for ages and were then informed that since the road worthy certificate had just expired we would have to wait for it to be redone. So the woman at the counter told us to go get some lunch and she would call us when it was ready. I was so annoyed! We had expected to quickly sign some papers and be on our way....

We ended up driving around and waiting for 6 hours!!! We went to 3 shopping malls and sat in 2 parks to try to pass the time. DH ended up missing a whole day of work. Eventually we were told to come back again on Thursday because the car needed a new windscreen before the mechanic would issue a new safety certificate. The auction place will pay for it thankfully!!!

As a result of all this, I spent most of the morning wanting to rip someones head off, ranting about the incompetence of the car people, complaining that my head was going to explode and whingeing and crying about feeling so crap. It was a very 'woe is me' day! On a positive note I got to spend the whole day with DH and in between my meltdowns we had some good quality time together....

AF hasn't turned up yet - but the cramps have, so it's time for sleep now...

I'm a bit behind in my blog reading and commenting, but will catch up soon!
I hope everyone is going well. My thoughts are with you!

You're very brave to see Marley and Me while on hormones! Sorry this past week has been such a roller coaster...I definitely know the feeling. Congrats on starting stims and I hope all goes well. I'll stop by to see how things are going.

Oh, Marely and Me just killed me. I cried at parts that weren't even sad!
It can only get better from here, hon.

I want to see Marley and Me but I need to read the book first. That body balance class sounds awesome.

I bawled at Marley and Me too, for the movie and the book. I had a similar week too, but mine was last week. I had a case of the grumps induced by progesterone and I am afraid my hubby thinks I've lost my mind.
