Meno night sweats!

[WingSlutz]

This is my main physical symptom of menopause. I’m 50 and started HRT (oestrogen gel) about 10 days ago. When are the night sweats going to stop?? And what can I do to mitigate in the meantime? I have the window open, cotton PJs, and I sleep alone. It’s really disrupting my sleep as I wake up cold and damp! Any solutions from the MN hive mind? Please??

It took me about four weeks until they stopped. Nothing else really helped unfortunately.

Sage supplements. Linen bed sheets.

I've had night sweats for a few years now and I'm not even peri menopausal (afaik; 41 years old, I asked a GP a couple of years ago and she laughed and said I was too young). concentrated around my neck.

Ordered sage supplements. Will look into linen bed sheets, that sounds lovely
