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 (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.
I'll second what Dee said.
It started with me in the second month.

hihi. am not complaining or anything. but its like just really suprising. i never had to wear socks or anything. and now i really want to pick up knitting again. so i can make a pair of wooly socks. :)
hm! new winter wardobe is needed then :)
and now i have another way to flirt that works really well: 'hug me, i am cold' :)
in the middle of summer my bed felt like a snowdrift but this last few weeks its a lovely warm cloud...nice modern building and outside temp is about same so it must be HRT effects.

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.
