No - estradiol is extracted from yams or soy. It is a bioidentical hormone. It is not a synthetic (man made) hormone.
You should talk with your doctor about the way you are feeling. Your symptoms are all typical of menopause. Maybe your estradiol dosage needs increasing.

I also has a complete hysterectomy and use estradiol. It helped with the hot flashes but did nothing for sex drive etc. I supplemented bioidentical progesterone and it has helped me tremendously with mood swings, sex drive, etc. try to find a dr. that specializes in bio-identicals. They work wonders!
