No time for a long drawn out, smart ass post. Why? I'm going crazy and I am ridden with anxiety. IVF is on the horizon for September, and I guess my body is telling me it's nervous about it. Funny because I was excited until now. A few days ago I finished a 10-day course of antibiotics to cure a bacterial infection (needed to get that all cleared for IVF) and also a few days ago I started taking 25 mcgs of Levothyroxine to get my thyroid under control (also for IVF). We haven't even started the damn protocol yet and I'm freaking out. What. the. hell. is. wrong. with. me.
Symptoms: feeling short of breath, feeling like a my throat is swollen and I'm not getting enough oxygen, feeling like I'm breathing funny...I know that my thyroid pills aren't the cause of this, I know its anxiety, so why the F can't I shake it?
You can do it! If I can handle it, anyone can! I started getting very nervous too so I understand.
ReplyDeleteIt's so very normal to be anxious about starting IVF. Even though doing IVF is something we want to do for the chance to get pregnant, it is still quite scary. With IVF we are pumping our body so full of hormones. That's just not 'normal', yet it is what we do for this chance. Know that you are not alone and emotions are expected to be all over the place. Even more so once the hormones are in you. haha
ReplyDeleteTake it easy and try not to stress. (Don't you just love that?!) Everything will be ok.
