You will need to give it some time - you should see better and better results as the days pass. This is because hot flashes occur because your body is starving for estrogen so the pituatary gland releases LH/FSH to stimulate the ovaries to make MORE NOW. But they can't cuz they are going into a shutdown mode from either natural menopause or from chemo, disease (you are very ill with something) or you are too thin.

Starving for estrogen means that the cells crying out for it each only get alittle bit and that is then supplemented daily and over time, everyone gets what they need. They just can't whack you with a couple of super large doses to get the titer up quick and then give you the small dose you are on - ya just gotta wait for the results (and for the effective circulating dose to be achieved).

It kinda like antidepressants in a way. You are depressed so you get a prescription. You take the first dose and don't feel any different. But over the course of a couple of weeks you will feel better as the effective circulating dose is achieved.

Wait it out alittle bit (a few weeks) and I think you will notice a difference.
