Hi....36 yr old female with CF. I was wondering....I started anew birth control about 4 months ago and 2 days b4 and about one day after my period I break out in cold sweats when I go to bed(I wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats) has anyone else experienced this and is this normal?

Thankx....

Well I have experienced cold sweats but due to my diabetes. I have never had a prob with my birth control though. What type do you use?

I call them night sweats, I wake up absolutly drenched. They occured for me about 2 days before my period begins also. I didn't have it this month, but previously I did. I have been on bc since Aug. or Sept. and had been on them before, I use Ortho Evra patch. At first I didn't know if it was the bc or if I was getting sick, but a few months back I decided it was the bc. It might just be one of those side effects that end with time, or one side effect changes for another. I have gone from sore chest, to acne, to night sweats, now nothing. It wouldn't hurt to ask a doc though.
