I had a total hysterectomy at age 44, went on 2 mg Estradial. At age 50, I decided to quit cold turkey. It has been 4 months and the hot flashes are terrible (day and especially night). Trying to decide to "sweat" it out (haha) or go back on. How long does it take for the replacement therapy to leave your circulation? Will starting it up again stop the flashes within a day or so? I should admit I drink a glass of red wine with dinner 4-5 days/week. Could that be the cause of these 7-9 flashes/day?
