You'll need to call your doctor and ask...I'm on HRT and those hormones stopped my hot flashes and night sweats almost immediately, so I'm confused on why you should be flashing. Maybe just an adjustment to the new patch?

Yes..I think you'll be seeing a change very soon, actually. Give them a little more time to work thoroughly. I hope my doctor never takes me off of mine...now that I know how much they help, I wish I'd started them years ago.

No, Whitedovexxx - My insurance doesn't cover the patches. So, my doctor put me on estradiol/norethindrone combo. I'd prefer the patches from everything I've read and heard, but no-go, so this pill works well for me. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better..hang in.
