I’m on an estrogen patch and I feel like it’s making me really sad. Has this happened to anyone else?

Estrogen (and hormones in general) has a way of doing that. I've never been on estrogen patches, but clomid did that me. Also certain hormonal contraceptive pills. Etc.

I think the most import thing is that you're aware it's messing with your emotions. Feels awful, but hopefully short term and worth it on the other end.

Yup very normal. After 2 IVFs, there are days when I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m amazed my husband had hung in there this long.

Just keep repeating it’ll all be worth it.

Thanks 🙏 yeah I took clomid too earlier this cycle, I thought that was wearing off and I was feeling better and then I started the patch and started feeling shitty again. 😥

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

I had IVF process to get pregnant. During pre- embryo transfer we were told that girl embryo is being transferred. Currently I am 18 week pregnant. I had anatomy scan and we found out we are having a boy. Baby looked all healthy but due to gender discrepancy, We are asked to do additional testing and genetic disorder screening. Anyone had similar experience?

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
