Have any of you had experience with night sweats? I wake up soaking wet just about every night! It really is bugging me.

I am 35 and taking bc pills. I don't really know that much about menopause or if it could be coming for me???????

I have also been breaking out with pimples like crazy.

Please share.

The only time I had symptoms like that was the first few weeks after I delivered the kids. How long have you been taking the BC pills? Is your period normal? If not I'd take a pg test, my mom had 3 BC pregnancies, all after age 30. As far as menopause, it could be pre-menopausal, but if you aren't pg, I would go to the OB/Gyn just to have your hormones checked, lots of things can cause out of whack hormones! Hugs, I know it can't be much fun!

COuld you possibly have Rosacea? I had sweats all the time, little pimples and red rash on my cheeks that looked like windburn. When I drank something hot it made it worse. My DR said it was sometimes hormonal caused and after my hysterectomy I haven't had it since. I can't remember what medicine he gave me for it though. This website doesn't say anything about the sweating, but that was one of my symptoms. Just a thought, although my sweats happened at any time. It does sound like you are experiencing something hormonal though.

I am right ther with ya Katherine. Ive been an B.C. pills 2 months now to supress my period. I think every volcano on the planet has found a new home on my face and they are all erupting!! I wake up soaked. What pill are you on? I'm on Ortho Novum 1/35. May-be its the pill were takeing. I was on ortho tricyclean a few years ago before my tubes were tied and I loved it. It really controlled acne and I had no side effects!!

Except for when I was pg and nursing, I have been on BC since I was 18 y/o. I don't think I am pregnant now, but, I forgot to mention that my breasts are so sore that it hurts to take off my bra. I have been sleeping in my bra for about a week now. I didn't miss any pills, didn't take antibiotics or anything. I took a pee pee test and it was negative.

I used to take TriLevlin until I started getting heavy periods and then I switched to Levlin. I haven't ever taken any other kind of bc and I never used to have pimples.

As far as the Rosacea goes, I don't think that's it. Mine is almost certainly acne, not only on my face but on my back also.

I have a Dr. appt next week, so I think I will have him check my hormones. I have to go every 3 months now because of my CIN.

I'll let you all know how it goes.
