Anxiety and IVF meds

Hello! Just looking to see if anyone's been in the same boat...

First IVF cycle with FET yesterday. So far the process hasn't been as bad as I thought it would but since introducing progesterone and taking progynova I have had symptoms of almost crippling anxiety... the clinic were sympathetic but said I have to keep taking both which I totally understand but it's beginning to get to me a bit as I don't want to feel like this, especially when I'm trying to keep as calm as possible and give myself the best chance.

Anyone else ever been in this situation? Any advice?
TIA x

Progesterone is making my anxiety through the roof. My citalopram is keeping panic attacks at bay but my god 😭

The pill and then the ivf meds gave me bad anxiety and made me angry and frustrated, it was so hard to get through, I kept telling myself, its not for long, just make it through this day and we will deal with everything else tomorrow and everyday I told that to myself. I also tried to stay occupied with the things that I could do and change. The progesterone on the other hand seems to make me a little more relaxed, laid back, very tired but not sleepy if that makes sense. Though it does seem to give me cramping, extreme bloating, gas, nausea and indigestion.
