Day 39 of HRT - Everol 50, Utrogestan 100mg, Ovestin

Before starting I was almost at breakpoint trying to survive on about 4 hours of sleep due to multiple hot flashes during the night.

Found a lesion on the underside of my breast last week which isn't healing and looks a bit strange (details/picture on this thread in womans health) I've been referred urgently to the breast team and dermatology (currently 3-4 week wait for both) and told to come off all HRT immediately as it is standard procedure if there are any breast investigations going on.

Dreading the sleepless nights again, along with the worry, and a bit emotional about it all! 🥹

Any hints or tips on how to deal with hot flashes which I expect will return fairly soon until I (positive thinking!) get the all clear?

Dr said there was something non hormonal they can prescribe if HRT isn't allowed but need to wait until the investigations are completed.
