It seems like I'm back at the start of every cycle with a new question :) So it is cycle 4 on Mircette now. No huge problems.
But I have noticed that ever since I started taking it, from cycle 1 on, my feet have been burning up at night. Usually my toes are always freezing so it was something I took note of. They get so hot I just want to put them in ice cold water. Then last cycle there were a couple of days where all of a sudden a wave of heat would come over me and I would check the AC and it would be lower than where I am usually comfortable (my mom is going through the real hot flashes at the moment). One day in particular it would just come on in waves and I felt suffocated by the heat.
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. I have NEVER sweat so much in my life. My nightgown looked like I had gotten in the shower wearing it. Sweat dripping of my face, and my hair was pretty soaked too although not completely. It was gross and a little scary.
Could these be hot flashes and could it be related to Mircette? Or am I having sympathy flashes for my mom? :)

It could be related to the Mircette.
