Morning Ladies,

Following several attempts with other HRT's I have gone back to my original regime of 3 pumps of oestrogel with 7 days of 2.5 Northisterone every 6 weeks. I have a very good bleed during this phase. However I have noticed recently from day 3 of taking Northisterone I am suffering extream sweats, feeling emotional, dizzy and very irritable. This is far worse this time round and last several days after stopping the Northisterone, it feel like the oestrogel is not working? or is this a side effect of Northisterone??

I'm afraid utrogesterone didn't work for me

Any thoughts ladies?

Yep. Any progesterone can give these symptoms.  Even when we had a natural cycle during our fertile years the time leading up to our period (when progesterone is at it's highest) and at the beginning of the bleed (when progesterone levels fall), there would be a raise in our temperature. DG x

Dancinggirl, Stellajane

Thanks for your reply.

Today is my first day of bleed and just pouring in sweat. Hopefully it should settle   don't really want to increase the gel as I want to continue with 3 pumps, just for consistency.

Oh well I have felt rubbish since last Friday (day 5 northisterone) fingers crossed

I had night sweats on oral contraceptives.  I couldn't work out why until I read that progesterone raises basal body temperature (this is why you take your temperature if you are trying to find out when your ovulate).

I think it probably pushes your core body temperature up a little bit, into that zone where temperature regulation is difficult during menopause.

I am usually cold all the time now (although not in the current hot weather).

Thanks dahliagirl

very informative. Day 2 of bleed and not as hot and sweaty....... just bloody period pain

Oh well it's bank holiday so hope to feel better soon
