Anyone else in an oddly good mood during IVF?

[sirensong]

Granted it's only early days - I'm on day 5 of my cycle and day 4 of short protocol medication - but i'm finding my mood to be oddly chipper when I was expecting to feel very low.

Obviously the whole process of paying all of your money to perform seppuku each day to possibly no end is laughable dire. But I've got a mid cycle-esque skip to my step - assume because of rising oestrogen. Anyone else? I don't remember reading about this, only anxiety etc. Am I about to crash horribly?

@sirensong i was so happy and excited during our treatment as it felt like we were finally getting closer to what we wanted and were finally getting started after all the tests and waiting! I pretty much felt like this the whole way through I was just excited! Hopefully will be the same for you and good luck

It was the same for me. We were both so excited it was finally happening after all the waiting (NHS). It worked the first time so I appreciate how lucky we were.

@sirensong very similar for me! I’m pretty much in sync with you - currently on day 8 and feeling weirdly cheery! I thought I would be knackered and miserable. Despite being incredibly bloated, I’ve been feeling pretty jolly… I think it must be all the oestrogen. Maybe the crash comes after egg collection?! Hope it all goes really well for you

@sirensong i was quiet similar when doing the injections as i felt like i was doing something and think hormones made me jolly.

I think my anxiety started with egg collection the dreaded wait to see how many made it to day 5. Now I have had transfer this is the worst TWW I have ever had!
so just be prepared that you might have some anxiety coming but hoping it doesn’t for you

I felt amazing during the first cycle - the stims seemed to give me energy and I felt positive in that things were moving forward and there was so much hope. I didn't have a crash at all!

My crash was third cycle onwards - hopefully you never get there, but cycle 3 onwards has been hard x
