Someone please tell me it is just the Clomid!

I swear, I'm just feeling SO down tonight. And I have no real reason to feel down. I'm 6dpo with the best looking chart ever.

But I just want to cry. I feel out of sorts. I can't figure out what to do with myself... I keep wishing it were next week already so I'd know something one way or the other. This is my 5th cycle...and I keep thinking that it just isn't going to happen for me. I dread seeing yet another BFN.

And my little dog, Mattie, has an eye infection and infection along the side of his nose. The vet thinks it may be an infection secondary to allergies out of control. Mattie spent the day at the vet, where they sedated him and shaved the right side of his little face. When I went to pick him up, they told me I have to put ointment in his eye twice a day and another ointment on his nose, and he has to take an oral antibiotic. Problem is, Mattie is NOT cooperative with things like that. He is a little Lhasa Apso, so does not have a snout to hold to control his head. I don't think I'm going to be able to do it. And the vet was demonstrating to me how to do it, and my puppy was screaming in pain, and I literally started crying! Right there in front of the vet! Man...I was so embarrassed.

A couple of days ago, I got a leg cramp during BD, and sobbed...like the can't catch your breath kind of crying. Really killed the mood for DH... and he was a bit concerned.

What is up with me! Could it just be the Clomid? I had just been thinking the last few days about how great it was I have not had bad side effects from the Clomid....

Or is the TTC stress getting to be too much?

Sorry this is such a long pity-party...but I hope someone will have some insight or can tell me if they experienced this on Clomid.

well.. its my first clomid cycle too.. but.. you can get some wicked mood swings from it. If your overly concerned.. call the Dr.. I think it will all go away in a while.. you just dosed your body with alot of hormones to pop out those eggies.. so its gettin back at ya!

Cheer up.. it will all be worth it in the end!!

good luck and tons of BFP energies...

Please dont feel crazy, I just did my first cycle of clomid and I had a terrible time, hot flashes, really moody, really weepy, I was a mess. I think you are right though, the stress of really TRYING can get to be a bit much. I have had two m/c so I put even more pressure on myself. You have to relax, it will only help things along. Use it as an excuse to get DH to give you a massage. That always relaxes me. Just be good to yourself. As for your doggie, I also have a little lhasa apso and he isn't all that cooperative with the medicines either. DH and I work as a team. My vet told me to put them up on the table or kitchen counter and have one person hold his head still while the other does the medicine. My dog had an eye infection recently and after only a day or so his eye was much better. Give him a treat or something when you are done. Did your vet mention allergy medicine? We give ernie, our doggie, a benadryl twice a day. we put the powder in his food. i think it helps. Keep your chin up.

I took Clomid for several cycles and I stayed so depressed and sad the entire time. All I did was cry, for no reason. It was like the worst PMS in the world. I was beginning to think something was terribly wrong with me, but once I stopped the Clomid, the depression/sadness stopped. Evil Drug!!! (lol)

Aww, (((((((hugs))))))) Anne! I sure hate to see my buddy feeling so down. Well, I understand that the Clomid can cause the mood swings and that depressed feeling in some people, but I have no experience with it myself. I really hope you don't have to take it again. I am sending all the BFP vibes possible for you. Your chart really does look great. It is a frustrating process TTC, but it will be worth it in the end. I'm so sorry about your sweet little dog-I hope it all works out soon. GL with everything, and we are here for you!

Thank you all for your support. I'm really not myself lately, and tonight seems to be the worst night...hopefully it will get better soon.

Your support means so much to me! Thanks again,
