I'm 5 days out and feeling really irritable (I yelled at my dogs for barking, not caring that they are dogs and that is what they do). I think a small part of it is that my surgeon took me off my BC pills to reduce the risks of blood clots. But I've now started my period again, even though I had it a week before surgery. Small things are p*$$ing me off and I just want to scream and throw things. I'm not usually like this and I don't like being such a moody b*+ch. Anyone have any advice on how do deal with being so irritable?

Also, does anyone know how to delete a post? I accidentally posted the same reply 4 times on another thread and I can't figure out how to delete them. Of course this doesn't help my mood and I want to throw my phone.

Hi SarahBeth - I'm still pre-procedure but I do have a lot of experience with BC as well as fertility drugs. Sounds to me like you've got a double-whammy: your body is adjusting to a major surgery as well as re-aligning your hormones to compensate for no BC. I think you should cut yourself some slack and realize what a big accomplishment you've achieved. Don't worry about the dogs - they have unconditional love for you Why not try a hot bath and a good book or some really bad reality TV? I recently bought my kids a bracelet-making craft kit and I am surprised at how much it relaxes me to do. What do you like? I have a ton of authors I can recommend or some really fun Apps. I know you're still recovering or I would suggest you take a walk. Feel better - you're doing great!!!

Try reading the FML website. Laughing at others misfortunes always gives me good shoddrnfrued. Its got an ap or u can google it & read on reg computer.

I find that the harry potter audio books calm me down. Or ones narrated by scott brick. I have an audible account & get my audiobooks there on the cheap.

allons-y

Mood swings can be normal post-op. I'd venture to guess you've got some crazy hormones going on due to the lack of bc and possibly hormones that occur post-op.

I hope it passes quickly for you!
