Question

Are hot flashes an early pregnancy symptom?

Hi ladies,
Just some background... I am 38, trying to conceive my 2nd child (my first is 10 yrs). I have been pregnant 3 times this past summer all ending in chemical pregnancies. I started using progesterone cream day 19 of this cycle just to be on the safe side (all blood tests, ultrasound, etc. came back normal), but my doc didn't test for progesterone so I am frustrated and done waiting around for her to do this. So about 3 days ago my face starts turing red and it feels super hot! My body itself doesn't feel hot per say, just my face, chest and head. I look sunburned at various times of the day! It reminds me of the hot/red face I got in early pregnancy 10 years ago with my DD. Could this be early preg symptom, or does progesterone cream cause hot flashes (I thought it was supposed to actually help with hot flashes, lol.)

Thanks for your help/support/stories/etc :)

Progesterone is probably the culprit for your hot flashes.
