Estrogen and menopause

I have been taking estradiol for 6 years and more recently bi-est.  three months ago I had Pnemonia and even with using bi -est, I am having hot flashes and night sweats which has never happened to me on a constant basis.  My husband thinks the pnemunia/fever rearranged my hormones and it will take awhile for them to settle down.  I am 57 and was pretty stable on the bi-est.  has this ever happened to anyone else??  Thx!

That's the way I feel.  Hope my doctor agrees, as I age.  I don't intend to ever drop it entirely.

Thanks Annie,  I am trying to up the dose.  I need my estrogen to function?

At 57, your natural actions of your ovaries are toning down yet again.  It's not like at 51 they switch from on to off, they gradually add less and less hormonal action to your system.  Try adjusting the dose of the bi-est before giving up on it.
