I tried Estroven too, it did nothing. It's basically an over the counter mix of herbal stuff. Doesn't help everyone. I was miserable. Hot flashes all day every day. My "bracelet" was a hairband I kept on my right wrist, used it 30X a day. Wanted to peel my clothes off in public! Sweating in bed, sheets are wet. Horrible insomnia, horrible fatigue. I felt 100 yrs old...although that's not fair to 100 yr old women.

I went back to my Gyn and said I want real hormones NOW! She started me on a topical estrogen that you spray on your arm once daily, and a progesterone pill. After about 2 weeks, I felt like a new woman! That was 3 yrs ago, and I"m still good. There are lots of safer hormones out there these days, no reason for any of us to suffer.
