Night Sweats During Period Posted: 09-28-06 01:57am
Anyone have night sweats during your
period? I've had them pretty bad the last
few times my period has started. I've
only found information on this when women
are going through menopause, but i'm far
from menopause! Any thoughts as to why
this would be happening? It's driving me
crazy because I hate waking up soaked in
sweat, especially now that it's cooling
off.

Night Sweats During Period Posted: 03-05-07 06:13am
Hi littlemisstery
I have the same thing! Are you on the
pill? My doc initially thought that it was
due to not taking a pill to have a period
i.e. the body doesnt like losing the
hormones and reacts with night sweats.
This makes sense cos the sweats happen
during my period.
I have also been for loads of tests i.e.
thyroid, hormonal, HIV, the works and
everything is normal! My doc suggested
that I come off the pill so she monitored
my hormones after I had been off it for a
few months and the only issue was slightly
low estrogen. The estrogen wasnt low
enough for her to worry. She thinks that
it's just because I have been on the pill
for a few years so my hormones are
re-adjusting. BTW I am 29.
The doc has now suggested that I stay off
the pill a little longer so she can keep
an eye on my hormones. But my skin has
badly broke out so I am going back on the
pill. My new plan is not to have a period
at all i.e. keep taking the hormones, and
see if the sweats re-appear. Oh, since
coming off the pill (4 months now) I
havent had many sweats at all. I honestly
think it has something to do with the
pill.
Keep me posted on your progress!

I sometimes got those before I went on the
pill, but for me it was associated with
the incredible pain of my cramps. I would
also get nausea and diarrhea because of
the pain and those made me sweat too!
