FAQ About Estradiol

What is Estradiol?

Plus Sign Icon

Estradiol is a hormone that is identical to the estrogen produced by our bodies that is plant-derived and FDA-approved.

How does it work?

Plus Sign Icon

During menopause or perimenopause our hormone levels begin to fluctuate and decline, often causing a host of symptoms. Estradiol replenishes your body’s decreasing estrogen levels restoring your hormonal balance.

How effective is it?

Plus Sign Icon

Estradiol is the most effective treatment available. Replenishing the exact form of estrogen that your ovaries are no longer producing, estradiol is scientifically proven to eliminate hot flashes completely in up to 80% of women and to reduce the frequency and severity in the remainder. To learn more, view some of our proven results below.

How do I take it?

Plus Sign Icon

Estradiol can be delivered in the form of a patch, pill, or cream. The patch is most women’s preferred method because of how safe it is and how easy it is to use. It is applied directly to your skin so there is no increased risk for blood clots and is best for women with an elevated BMI, who smoke, who have hypertension or just want the convenience!

Are there side effects?

Plus Sign Icon

In the first few weeks, as your body adjusts to your treatment, it’s normal to experience some side effects like breast soreness, headaches, bloating, spotting, or mood and sleep changes. These are temporary and almost always recede as your body adjusts to the hormones.

Thank you Evernow
“I’ve been using the patches for just over 2 months. I sleep better, no more night sweats, hot flashes are gone and dryness has improved. I know full effects can take a few months, but so far this has greatly improved my quality of life. Kudos to your staff they’re amazing. The communication is fantastic. Plus I’m eligible for discount through my insurance, that was a super great bonus!”

I have my life back!
“For those still debating, I started 3 weeks ago. I know we are all different: Have different skin types, different menopausal issues which bother us more than maybe another person, but for me, the hot flashes and brain fog have been my biggest battle. Now? I’ve had 3 hot flashes in the last 4 days as opposed to 12 or more in one day. Just saying this is beginning to give me relief and therefore, my life back!”

FAQ About Hormone Therapy

Does Evernow require bloodwork?

Plus Sign Icon
  • Bloodwork is usually unnecessary for treatment of menopausal symptoms. Guidelines from The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) recommend treating patient symptoms rather than hormone levels in the blood. For more information, please read our article about why we are able to treat menopausal symptoms without blood testing.

Can I use insurance to pay for Evernow?

Plus Sign Icon
  • We are not in network with insurance providers but you may be eligible to use your FSA and HSA cards.

Will it make me gain weight?

Plus Sign Icon
  • Several studies over the past several years have shown that hormone replacement therapy can slow the creep of menopausal weight gain and abdominal fat redistribution in many women.
