Also, the artilce seems to imply that with estrogen women still had some hot flashes. At least in my case, estrogen stopped all hot flashes and helped me to sleep. I also don't know a single woman (from premature menopause support group) that had any hot flashes on estrogen. I don't know about others, but I had way more than 2- or 3- a day. It was more like 2- or 3- an hour + waking soaked in sweat at 4 am. Maybe I am stupid, but I’d be reluctant to take medication that changes my brain chemistry for hot flashes.
