I personally have gone without a shot for a month or two, simply because I forget about it once in a while. I have never had hot flashes from missing my shots. At most, I sometimes start feeling a little down and then I realize I am way overdue for my shot. Hope this info helps.

Hey Jesse,
I went 6 mths plus I'm on reandron which is every 10 weeks,ive just had 2 shots in a row on time and the hot flushes have stopped,I have an appointment to see the endo my next shot,I wonder if the hormones effects us all differently?
Thanks everyone for chiming in and Corkey I will ask her about that.Although it seems for me it was low levels since they are gone,over here we go to the hospital and have our bloods done before every shot,its free so our levels are constantly monitored,I was on every 12 weeks and started to get hot flushes about 3 yrs ago,she"my Endo"said my levels were low and changed it to every 10 weeks,and the flushes stopped,and now I'm back to normal,also my body likes the high end of the scale,I guess I'm putting it out there coz there really is no real test group,just our own experience,especially for us older guys,thats just my thinking,also our population is tiny compared to the USA.So thanks for the input
