hi ladies-
so i've been on doxy for 8 days now after a d&c. i pretty much have a headache all day. and i am really sad. last night i woke up in the middle of the night crying. and all my dreams are very angry and confrontational. this is my last day on doxy. will it stop. i'm even fulling up with tears now.

I am so very sorry about your loss and the aftermath of sadness and anger.
When I had my 2nd m/c I was so full of anger that it scared me.  I had to tell my Obgyn and she wanted to keep an eye on it. I eventually went on Prozac.   Anger is a very common emotion during the grief process.  It may help to try and get your anger out thorough a fitness program, maybe a punching bag or weight machines, treadmill?  Try crying and screaming at the top of your lungs - just get it out.
I hope you heal soon and that you dont lose faith in ttc.
Lisa

i figured my hormones were crazy on top of all this. it's hard for me to be sad at work because my partner is 10 weeks preg. she was 1/2 week in front of me. so it's like "stiff upper lip" all day. but i keep reading posts (non pregnancy sites) about doxy causing headaches and sadness. i had one last test to get to the bottom of my 3 MCs. me and DH were kayotyped and we are both normal 46 chromosomes. so that is my silver lining at the moment.

Oh sweetie....i don't think it's the antibiotic that is causing your sadness.   You are grieving and being sad is part of the process.   I'm sure you're days are filled with confusion, stress, sadness and anxiety, so of course it will come out in your dreams.  And anger is part of the grieving process.  What you are going through is perfectly normal.   I promise you in time you will feel better.  I know there is nothing I can say to you that will make you feel better now and don't expect to feel better right away.  Cry your eyes out if you need.  You've been through a traumatic experience.
