I am just wondering if I am alone on this crazy train or is there someone else along for the ride!! I stopped breastfeeding a few months ago, so I was sorta assuming maybe hormones would go back to "normal" ( whatever that is LOL). but I still feel very hormonal and still cry very easily. I know I get PMS but this is always. Maybe its a new mom thing or is it me lol??

I imagine that its because of the breastfeeding that you are so emotional.
It changes your hormones so much.
Good luck, its never fun to be so teary

Please see "about me" section for details

*hugs* I cry at certian commericals, and I am not pregnant, have been pregnant, or BF LOL
Our Journey to Parenthood
TTC Since September 2007 - Diagnosis "Unexplained Infertility"
Me 28 - DH 30


Sept 2007-2008 - Trying au natural - When it was fun ;)
Sept 2008 Refered to 1st clinic, what a waste of time
Dec 2008 - Told by old clinic both my tubes were blocked, going for a lap...
Feb 2009 - Lap. done, both tubes clear and open, were never blocked
March 2009 - Clinic gave us the wrong patients results - switched clinics
April 2009 - Started at ISIS
May 2009 - 1st B2B IUI - DH counts amazing, 72 and 42 million 90% mobility - BFN!!! devastated beyond words
June 2009 - IUI #2 - 3 Good follicles - June 16th (113 million sperm, 99% motility WOOHOO) and 17th!! Beta Day July 1st - 14DPIUI...AF arrived...wondering how much more we can take :(
July 2009 - IUI #3 - Changed to timed BD...CD10 (July 10th) Only one good follicle, 2.2 I think, chose timed BD instead of IUI#3, due to only one follicle - we are going to try "au natural " this cycle - BFN again...
August 2009 - Taking time off and enjoying each other, 1st adoption meeting Sept 16th, and I also have a free round of Gonal-F waiting for us at the clinic when we decide to go back - Became a Moderator here at IVF.CA!! Thrilled to be about to give back to a wonderful site and great group
September 2009 - Explored the adoption process with Halton CAS Sept. 16 then decided to take time off from TTC and save for more fertility treatments in the future...
October 2009 - Decided to submit our application for adoption (Oct 27th) and started acupuncture, will not give up we will have a family one day
November 2009 - Finally met Karolyn, she stayed with DH and I for 3 days, she is like a sister to me, and had a few wonderful meet up's with other amazing women from the site...words can not describe what an amazing weekend that was
December 2009 - Re-doing a bunch of tests - hopefully a few IUI's in the new year with a different protocol - Maybe PRIDE training in March
January 2010 - Results from SONO and HSG, all looks great, Right tube questionable, not a huge concern as per Dr. Saving for IVF as that is our next option...might be a few years, hopefully not. Hopefully our miracle will come before -Wondering why is this so hard??
Jan 2010 Cont'd - Accepted to PRIDE training starting in March, SAFE home study to follow...We can finally dream again...
March 2010 - Started PRIDE March 22nd - 9 classes, 3 hrs every Monday night - Enjoying the class, looking forward to the future, getting all our documents ready for our SAFE homestudy package
May 1st 2010 - BFP on a HPT!!! Holy crap how did that happen...May 2nd Beta 182...May 4th Beta 300...1st U/S May 14th - 1st U/S shows healthy miracle bean - H/B and all - 127 beats per minute, what a wonderful moment between DH and I




Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will...

I think it's normal. Having a baby is a lot on the body. It's also a very big ajustment in life. It makes you realize things in life. It can make you feel more sensitive.

Anne - hope you feel better soon. Just remember what a HUGE event having a baby is, emotionally, physically...changes your whole life, how you do things, what you do, where you go...everything. I imagine it will get better, as everything does. Just make sure you take some time to do nice things for yourself. Do you have someone you could leave Shelby with once a week, once a month...just to take some time to pamper yourself? Are you able to get out of the house alot? Sometimes when I am inside for too long I get depressed too.

If I go to the store and even leave the baby with bf for like 30 min and I see another baby, I feel like crying. Anyway, if your feeling sad and need someone to talk to, you can dop me a line...HUGS!! :flowers:
