Hi all,

I just wondered if anyone else noticed not being able to warm up when going to bed?

I used to get into bed wrap in the duvet and wait about 5 mins and i was toastie warm, even though Spring is coming  I have noticed taking 20 mins or so to warm up even with and extra duvet

Has this happened to anyone else?

I also found the internal furnace does not burn as hot after being on mtf hrt !.

Calorie intake needs to be less as well.

I thought it was just me.  I have two heavy quilts on my bed.

Dear Carla:
YES, YES, YES ....   me too!!!!   I think it is a combination of the HRT, weight loss and reduced calorie intake, possibly dehydration and the resultant lower blood pressure, and lower metabolism.   I find that my feet and my hands get colder than they did before transitioning.   

Especially living up here in the cold North in the winter season, I always have my electric blanket preheating my bed before climbing in for the night....   I many times sit in front of my propane fireplace to "toast my toes" ... and at home when I change into my night clothes, I will wear heavy wool socks and my sweatshirt and sweatpants while relaxing before turning in for the night and going to bed.   
If I am really cold I have a hot water bottle that I can cuddle around my feet in bed.

Hugs and stay warm,
Danielle

Back when I was married, there were times when I'd be warm enough with just a sheet covering me, but my wife was cold with blanket & comforter too.

Thanks all, so glad not the only one
roll on the warm weather

I carry  lot of fat in my legs.  Which means that if I wear long pj bottoms, I always feel cold in cold weather no  matter how many blanket I pile on top of me.  But, if I wear those skimpy VS short shorts, I do warm up! 

It may be due to the change in fat distribution around your body.
