Wendi Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Since last Thursday, I've been having chills several times a day (seems mostly in the afternoon/evening). Not shivering and teeth chattering, just goose bumps on my arms and a sudden chill. Lasts a minute, then goes away. Happens again a little later. Could this be hormone-related? I don't have a fever.

plain jane Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I don't know about hormone related, but I do get that sometimes when my iron levels are low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolehall Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yes. Google "cold flashes." I've had these a few times. Just like hot flashes, except you get cold. Weird!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatusduo Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I sometimes will get chills with a migraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think that hormones can definitely cause chills. After I had DD#1, the night I came home from the hospital, I lay in bed shaking and shaking. I thought I was coming down with something! But then, they finally went away. Same thing happened after having DD#2. Now I chalk it up to postpartum hormones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoforjoy Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I also had them after having my kids, so I assume they can be hormone-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women can get hot flashes so it would make sense to get cold flashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I don't know, but I used to get the chills all the time. Now, at 48, I get really, really hot.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I always feel cold before I get my period. I don't know if temperature perception could be linked to hormones, but certainly body temperature does drop before ovulation (I know this from months and months of basal body temperature recording while trying to conceive.)
