Feel absolutely insane

[babylove2016]

Hello

I just wanted to ask if anyone else is around 8-10dpo and raving mad on the inside about the littlest things? I feel so angry I could burst into tears and nothing bad has even happened.

Yep...it's progesterone. Happens to me every month. I was awake at 5am this morning feeling very angry about lots of stuff.

Thank you Sunflower. Geez... I hate it, I feel so out of control... and my poor OH. Do you have any techniques to help calm yourself down?

Aha yes camomile tea!! Don't underestimate this stuff it does wonders for me!! Calms you down, helps you sleep.
Even use 2 teabags in a cup for better effect! Xx

Lol the struggle ...I get completely wack, emotional and stark raving mad. I try my best to hide it from DH but it's no use. Everything just builds up and then I get an emotional overload - DH has become immune to the Progesterone disease as I call it. I take my hat off to my husband, he's such a wonderful and understanding person.

I tell myself it's just hormones and try not to shout at my OH. If possible write down what is on your mind and save it till you are out of the progesterone danger zone. If you do decide to confront someone in a ragey state, try to remain rational and not get blamey and angry. I managed to channel my anger and anxiety into a productive talk with my OH today about fertility stuff. It got a bit hairy for a while but could have got so much worse.

I also have dark chocolate and do meditation. Also distract yourself with something...I watched a horror film. If you chart your cycle each month with moods you'll know almost to the day when you will get like this and can be prepared. My sleep always goes...I wake up at 5am and get really anxious and angry. I think progesterone peaks and then goes off if you aren't pregnant so find out when you peak and tell yourself it'll just be a day or two.

Estrogen can also make you feel insane, but I find it's more weepy and anxious than angry. It's really interesting really. I wish I had known about this stuff years ago!

Thank you ladies!

Oh god really? So if I stay mental I'm likely pregnant haha sounds great. I'll try the camomile tea, I did have a good convo with him earlier and I was calm so that's good!

Are you ladies all trying to conceive right now?

hey,

I am literally going through this today too haha I just woke at like 6am (India time) and can't sleep and have a raaaage for no apparent reason. I was even angry in my dream

 

[Sunflower1]

Yes I'm TTC. Been trying for ages.

 

[babylove2016]

Me too... I had a break and came back two month's ago. Bloody soul destroying... probably doesn't help the rage either. About 3 days away from AF being due so perhaps tension is rising too coz I know it will be yet another BFN.

So glad it's not just me!

Yeah, I've had a few breaks too. it can get so stressful. Fingers crossed for you. I've also got to the point where I am anticipating the BFN each month. x

When are you due AF lovely? FX for you!!! x

 

[Sunflower1]

I think I am due on Monday. I usually watch my BBT as that is meant to stay up if you are pregnant. I've been trying for 2 years but had to lose 9 stone, which I have done and am now a healthy BMI. I am so hoping that will make a difference. This month we dtd 2 days before ovulation so it there is a chance.

 

[stargirl]

this make so much sense to me! I had the implant taken out in the beginning of June, ready to ttc and last week i could have murdered someone! I literally had no patience with anyone and for some silly reason I didn't even think about putting it down to hormones!

 

[millielaura]

Yeah I get really bad anger with my pms lol xx

Haven't had a BFP yet but not late yet either. I'm ready to burst into tears at nothing. This is completely out of character for me, I don't know how much longer I can hide it.
