About this symptom
Hot Flashes
Hot flashes, characterized as an intense heat that typically starts in the neck and face and can be accompanied by sweating and increased heart rate, are very common in early pregnancy. They can last from a few seconds to several minutes but are generally not a cause for concern. Hormonal fluctuations and increased blood flow can cause hot flashes even in very early pregnancy, and some women report this as one of the first symptoms they experience.

Had major hot flash last night at 12dpo, only in face area. Which is totally weird for me. Fingers crossed for a positive soon.
