hi everyone   :)

i finally managed to start my estrogen and the anti-evil-hormone pill, am on day 57 now. woo  :)

but like the last couple weeks i been having this slightly weird side effect.  i like have these periods where i like feel cold for like half an hour, or i can feel a bit too hot.  the coldness is much more common.  i dont think am too worried about it.  as far as i know your metabolism is also supposed to slow down. which makes you colder.  and i used to be pretty hot ( heat wise :) ). like this last winter when it was -20c i managed to wear a miniskirt and just wooly nylons.
wikipedia ( i know! :) )  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_flash#In_younger_women says its common when the estrogen is low. which is weird since my body seems to have taken really well to the estrogen.

ooh, and also i just turned 25, and i like to cuddle, the rain and moonlight walks  :)

so anybody have any ideas about it. or if i should worry or just call my doctor.

If you think just being on HRT causes Hot flashes, try getting an Orchie.  I had them up till my doctor upped my Estrogen.

:o   OOPS!  I'd forgotten I had orchie in spring.  that explains the snowdrift bed!  How weird it was to just now remember I once had one testicle.
