I have decided that estrogen is my friend. I feel the most sane and the least sad about infertility at the beginning of a cycle. It's not a "it's a new cycle, so there is a chance" thing, it's more that I feel as if I am in control and not some hormones. Even on the Clomid and injects, I still feel "clear." Since that is the dominant hormone in the follicular phase of a cycle, I have decided estrogen is my friend. And progesterone is the work of the devil. Post-ovulation, I am just a mess. Then, add those cursed suppositories and I am veering off into depression. Perhaps, this is why I had such a difficult time on birth control pills that were heavily progesterone-laced.
The human body fascinates me.

I felt the exact same way on 100 mg of Clomid -- I felt clear...and well, good -- and I was on estrogen too...
interesting!
I will let you know what I find out about the CRM --

Hormones are weird things.
I've got a fun fact that will help feed that facination. Estrogen makes me crazy. I love Progesterone! From O to a few days before AF I am one happy lady!
(Gee, I wonder if 12 years of BC could have anyting to do with that?)
oh yeah, progesterone makes me a crazy person. doesn't help that i was on PIO injections and now am on 2 suppositories a day.
probably because my natural progesterone production is so low, that when i get supplemented it's a huge blow to my system.
and my face looks like a pizza. :(
i'm with you on this one.
They all make me crazy ;)
Glad the estrogen works for you though
Yes,
estrogen is fantastic. I'd have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could....
