IVF and hormones (TW infertility)

Hello,

This is inspired by a post I just saw about the study linking ADHD and estrogen.

Before I was diagnosed and medicated, I did several rounds of IVF at two different points of my life. The process requires a lot of hormone medications, both estrogen and testosterone, I distinctly remember driving to the clinic thinking how I never felt better in my life. From what I had read, most people feel terrible on the hormones. I felt full of energy and happy.

After the first cycle, most people are able to have a lower dose or different course of hormones, not me. I was a low responder and had to do the full course every cycle.

I can't help but wonder if it's linked to my ADHD.

I'm considering asking my doctor about HRT even though I'm only 41. I have an IUD so I don't get a period so I don't know about my cycles.

I guess my question is, did anyone else do IVF and feel unexpectedly good physically/mentally?
