Over the last couple of months I've been woken once a week or so by the most horrendous night sweats, the like of which I haven't experienced since starting HRT over a year ago. I have no other symptoms of menopause, my hrt is doing a good job otherwise. I'm on Oestrogel, 4 pumps daily, and have a mirena iud. I have tried different methods of applying the oestrogel (rubbing in until dry, splitting dose between morning and evening) and have noticed no effect at all.
Does anyone have any advice on what could help. I use a light down duvet, cotton bedding, drink little alcohol and no caffeine from lunchtime onwards. I suppose the best advice is to visit my GP to review my HRT, but I've just moved and am yet to visit them, therefore they are an unknown entity as far as peri treatment goes. I do have NHS and private meno clinics nearby.
