The last couple of days (happened last month too) I’ve had 3 or 4 incidents where my face feels flushed (looking in the mirror I’ve gone very red), the skin on my face feels tight almost and I feel very slightly lightheaded.
I’ve had a search on here and there’s lots of differing hot flush symptoms but most others seem to be internal heat or all over heat which I’ve not had. My anxiety is triggered so thought I’d pop on here and hopefully have my mind put at rest 🙈
I’m 50 and definitely in peri or menopausal, no idea when or if my periods have stopped as I had a coil. I’m at the stage of the month where I want to eat or kill everything in sight and both my daughters are due on (we’re all in sync, not a fun time of the month for us 🤣🤣)

Flushing can take many forms! MayB keeping a mood/food/symptom diary will help.

No. I’m due to start it though.
I’ve had a couple of tries at starting it but had issues with progesterone. Been given Utrogestan with Evorel 50 now x

I restarted hrt 3 weeks ago...oestrogel x 2 pumps and utrogestan 200mg x 12 nights of the month, hoping for some relief soon..think it has improved slightly but just want to feel a bit more like the normal me.Hope things improve for you soon x

Fingers crossed for us both! I want that “I felt like me again” feeling I’ve read so much about on here! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 x
