Return of hot sweats
« on: July 11, 2022, 06:14:00 AM »

Hi ladies I’m 54 next week on HRT estrodot patch 50mcg x 2 a week I have a progesterone coil in since Oct due to heavy periods. I’m noticing hot flushes are returning especially at night, anxiety raised and sleep not quite so good. Do ye think I should look for an increase in patch? I got testosterone gel but found it hard to know how much to apply and when I did I found flushes increased. Any thoughts on this please💕

If your symptoms are not controlled on the 50 mcg it would be reasonable to ask your GP to increase the dose to 75 mcg. I don't think the testosterone gel would aggravate the hot flushes, so it was probably a coincidence.
