I have had many difficulties with HRT even tho they took my hot flushes away.
My reflexologist, who specialises in fertility problems, recommended a flower remedy called 'She Oak'. This is gentle and natural. It has helped to keep my hot flushes down and generally helps to keep the body and skin hydrated (it made a huge difference to my skin). Anyways, it is very cheap (about £6 a bottle - per month/6 weeks basically) - 4 weeks on, two weeks off. When I have been off it more than 4 weeks, my hot flushes return. SO now I am defo a fan!!
No more....
It might not be for everyone and might not work for everyone. It works for me for now while I figure out if i have to take hrt and which one.
Hope it helps or you find a good solution for you!
