Egg freezing- drugs making me go mad?

[StartingAgain33]

Hi all,

This is going to come across as pathetic as I'm not even talking about the big serious injections. I'm talking about the norethisterone, which I'm taking to suppress periods before starting the big drugs start next week.

I'm seriously depressed and anxious. Literally pulling my hair out. Have spent all day anxiously ruminating and refreshing self help threads on my laptop. Like all. Day. Feel like life is not worth living.

I was worried it would be like this as I have an extreme reaction to the contraceptive pill, which this basically is (progresterone). Anyone else have this reaction?

Is next lot of drugs going to send me actually mad? I'm really scared.

Oh and worth saying for those that dont know that this is basically IVF drugs but without the embryo transfer. So I'll be on Gonal-f and Buserelin injections. Secretly hoping the Gonal F will make me feel great as I think react better to oestrogen - seem to feel best in my cycle around ovulation?

Don't have the same reaction, sorry I can't help. Can you talk to the clinic about it? There mostly are different methods/medicin available to do ivf, althpugh I don't know if it's worth switching when you've just one more week to go. Gonal doesn't give me side effects but I do feel very incomfortable physically once the ovaries are very heavy and full just prior to collection.
