Hot flashes with the pill?

I just started taking birth control pills again. Tonight is my 4th night on Gianvi. I'm having what seem to be hot flashes. I'm not entirely sure it's the pill though. Maybe I'm getting sick? I've taken Gianvi before and never experienced this.

I would guess it's a normal side effect due to hormone levels fluctuating, and that it will probably go away the longer you use the pill. I'm on NuvaRing and sometimes I will get night sweats/hot flashes when I'm on the ring-free week.
