Looking for egg donors who experienced high emotions after donation cycle?!


Question: Looking for egg donors who experienced high emotions after donation cycle!?
Hello, I went through an egg donation cycle that ended in March, it was completely normal and I felt fine throughout my experience!. However, I began noticing that my emotions were running high around May!. I thought that it could have to do with family drama bc my little sister was discovered to be using drugs, so I started seeing a therapist to work out my feelings about it!. Now in August, my therapist is telling me that she thinks my depression and highly emotional feelings may be hormonal, not psychological, so I'm going to my Dr to have my levels checked this Friday!.
I'd like to know if any other donors out there have felt anything similar to what I am describing: I cry over happiness & sadness, I mostly feel pretty down in the dumps these days, my emotions are just really exagerrated it seems!. I feel so down, I have no motivation to get my work done, yet I have no real reason, I have a wonderful life and am usually very excited about all that is going on!. This has been a very strange and tough summer bc of how I've been feeling!. I have withdrawn from my volunteer activities and generally feel down or cry but with no reason when I ask myself what is wrong!. Has anyone else felt this and if yes, what helped you get through!? About how long can I expect this imbalance in my hormones to last!? Is there anything I can do to cleanse or somehow balance my hormones!? I had one friend suggest YAZ, which is a birth control with something for mood swings!. Im not sure what I think about that, and plan to talk with my Dr about it on Friday!.

Any suggestions by other donors who have felt anything similar are truly appreciated!.

Answers:
I've experienced mood swings related to hormones!. I've also gone through an IVF cycle like you, but my situation was so stressful afterwards that I don't know that I can attribute it to the hormones in that particular instance, or not!. In any case--estrogen fluctuating can cause emotional volatility!. Your estrogen went up an enormous amount when you were doing the egg donor stuff!. It then plumeted afterwards, a huge change! It's a big tax on your system as a whole, and your ovaries, as you've seen!. If I were you, I'd go on birth control pills for just a few months!. That will cause your own ovaries to stop working for a bit, while you regain equilibrium!. Your ovaries were damaged by producing all of those eggs and then having them removed!. Your body can fix that damage, but it does take awhile!. But because you are a fertile woman, your ovaries are also still working to make fertile egg follicles every month!. So it's like you have a wound that keeps getting re-injured!. Taking birth control pills will allow your body to focus on healing your ovaries, since they won't be working to produce follicles while you're on the pill!. After three or four months on the pill, you can go off it, and things will likely be improved!. But something to keep in mind is that some people are more succeptible to these hormone changes than others, and you're likely one of hte more succeptible ones!. So you could likely have some different mood changes when you go on and off the pill, too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
