Estrace Priming - Effect on mood?

[Anonymous]

I started estrace priming earlier this week and weirdly today I cannot stop crying. I had some stressful mix-ups with some important IVF stuff but normally I can shake this kind of thing off easily and go about my business. Thankfully, I am home today.

Bump.

I'm on estrace (vaginally, 2x a day) to prep for FET. I've been very moody, which isn't unusual for me based on past experiences with estrace. I've also noticed some nausea and breast tenderness this time, and I don't remember that from prior cycles.
I thought taking the medication vaginally was supposed to reduce side effects, but I guess not!

I didn't notice any side effects except for sore breasts.

Resuscitating this thread to chime in- I'm now on Lupron/Estrace for my 3rd FET, and unlike the previous times, I am feeling very crazy and emotional. For example, I am extremely happily married, and wouldn't change my life for anything, and yet last night I google-stalked a college boyfriend and cried over old emails. Incredibly out of character for me. I have two more weeks to go, and I'm a little worried about how I'm going to deal.

Yes! Oral estrace made me nuts. The intramuscular estrogen made me level and have more energy. So weird how drastic the difference was for me personally.

I had no personality changes or even sore breasts!
