I took clomed and other fertility drugs to concieve my babies and they are going to be 2 on May 4th. I am STILL so moody and emotinal and it's been almost 2 years! Is this normal? I'm back on birth control, I thought that would help with the hormones but it doesn't help either.... Am I going to be like this forever!?!

I didn't do fertility treatments and I'm still a mess emotionally. My boys are 16 months old.

I also took fertility medication and I am extremely emotional. I thought it was just because I had babies. Now after reading some of these post, they have me thinking. Btw, I have 1 year old twins.

Been there, done that. Your hormones have been messed up from the start. Get your hormone levels checked by a nutritionist or Doctor of Naturopathy and quite guessing. It took me 20 years to figure it out - do it for your sanity and you probably won't need the clomid and other fertility drugs to get prego again.

I think it's called being an overtired stressed out mom. I know I'm very moody and have tried different things with my doctors and nothing seems to help. I've just accepted that I'm going to be tired and cranky for a few more years till they go to school. I wish I had more "me" time and less super mom time. But I agree with Heather, talk to a doctor :) They could probably give you better advice.

If it is a side effect of the drugs, you should speak with your health care professional. But it might just be a side effect of being tired and stressed out. If that is the case, I recommend asking friends or family to help out with the kiddo's a little bit so you can catch up on some sleep.
