Is this a hot flush?
« on: May 30, 2025, 07:52:49 AM »
Morning all, restarted hrt 3 weeks ago after a 5 week break..oestrogel 2 pumps and utrogestan 200mg 12 nights of the month. At the end of my current cycle day 26 and so uncomfortable with feeling hot then cold...1 side of me feels really hot..right side of face and nose flushing red, ear feels hot.feels like I've been sat in sun, shoulder and arm feel like it's sunburnt...is this a hot flush...back and chest warm too...if it was just the face would think maybe roseaca but my arm etc too feels the same..thanks all.

Probably a variation of flushing. Hopefully it doesn't last too long.

Thanks CLKD,,I hope it stops soon, really getting me down now. Been looking through posts on how to apply oestrogel and where best...I hope I have been applying correctly. Been using mid inner thigh...and just read that it should be applied in one motion..like 1 swipe? Think I may switch to arms see if that makes a difference? Thanks all so much you have all been so helpful 😊

Hi! I'm afraid it does sound like a flush. :( I had a few weeks with those kind of 'milder' flushes-like feeling of warmth on face, neck -not a full flush but regardless uncomfortable. I wasnt sure yet if its a flush either or just a reaction to cosmetics etc. Fast forward to today, I'm sure these were flushes, and now I'm getting the full version with sweating and all  >:( So now trying to find a solution as for whatever reason oestrogel has stopped working for me.

Hope you'll get sorted quickly! xx

Hi EllaAurora, thanks for replying it's so worrying all these symptoms so it's comforting to know I'm not going mad...currently sat with fan cooling my top half and a blanket on lower half as cold..no sweating so far. Hope you find solution soon x
