Hi I've been on hrt for nearly 12 weeks now (3 weeks on low dose and 9 weeks on high dose).  My day flushes went quite quickly but the night ones haven't . They subsided but now are getting worse again. Surely the hrt should have stopped them by now.....

Sorry to hear this Dotty! Yes they really should after this time...it really does sound like you need a different HRT. Another thought - have you had blood tests to look at  eg thyroid, diabetes etc before starting HRT because sweats can be caused by other conditions? Apologies if you've already said elsewhere!

Hi Hurdity yes I've had all the blood tests and all fine

I can't take HRT but I empathize with the flushes and night sweats. Mine have got much worse over the past year, friends and family who have night sweats say that HRT not helped with this, think it's something we just have to go through regardless, hoping one day they will subside, really awful, for me the worst part of menopause.

I was hoping that hrt would stop the night sweats if I'm on the right dosage and type.
