Hot flushes

[Bunny Girl Zoe]

Been on hrt around 7 months and get hot flushes anyone else get this.

[Angela Campbell]

I did the first month but not since then.

[DeidraDee63]

Yes, I had one the first month but not since then, but then I am only in my third month on hormones.

[I Am Paula]

I had them the first month, then very sporadically after. My endo says it's just a long series of reactions to your body thinking it's being invaded by estrogen.

The very first time I put on a patch I had a big rush. Then, one other time about 2 years later, after I had not used any patches for more than 3 weeks, I got a fairly small rush. That's the closest I have had to hot flashes.

Unlike most people, from day to day (or even week to week), I barely notice if I have a patch on or not.

I have been on HRT for almost two weeks and so far I have had two hot flushes. I was warned that these could be bad for the first month or so as the body gets use to the estrogen.

[Elsa Larson]

I'm not yet on estrogen but hot flushes started about 2 months after my orchiectomy.

[Ashley D.]

Mine started in the first week and lasted about a month.

[Aprilrain]

i never really had this problem but I've heard of others who have so I don't think it's abnormal. I did experience them once right after I had FFS. I believe it was the change in E not the E it's self.

[Nicole Brown]

I have also been on hormones for 7 months but have not experienced any hot flashed, thank heavens....

The first few months after starting hrt after I would take my shot I would get them - they could be pretty intense

none after that though

[Jenny CD]

Hmmmm..... Not sure. A little over a month. And there are times when I'm simply uncomfortable. Not sure if it's hot flashes and stuff. I'm just uncomfortable. I know my boobs ache. They don't really hurt, just ache... especially the nipples. My BF was fondeling them and THAT hurt. I am getting very emotional, too. I'm thinking it's all in my mind. Maybe, maybe not.

Not sure if it's hot flashes and stuff. I'm just uncomfortable..

If you have a hot flash you will know.

They can also come from andropause, as well as Niacin in large doses (as an anti-cholesterol med). There are probably others, which I'll rely on other members to supply.

Natal women get hot flashes after menopause, but they usually go away after a while. My friend's mom gets them still though, and she is 97.

[Jennifer Marie P.]

The first two months but after that it calmed down.

[Janelle_C]

A little after a mounth I got one. I was setting on the couch with my wife and I said I think I'm having a hot flash, she just leaned over and touched my sweaty arm and said yes you are and started laughing. Since then I get really worm all over but stop short of breaking out in a sweat.
