Massive weight gain on hormones!
Posted , 6 users are following.
was on mylan estradiol patch 5mg and progesterone pills 50 mg for about 8-9 months gained about 40 lbs ! was 110lbs to begin with.
not sure if even helped me as i have ebv mono too .
they made me calm to start anxiety lessened but then stopped working .
is mylan hrt or bhrt ? has anybody else gained weight ? i may go back to the vaginal cream as i know thats def bhrt . right now waiting to lose the weight before i reassess things.

Hi Lori
i am on 50/140 HRT patches but to be fair they put me on 3 other pill medications too and i have gone from 68kilos to 80 kilos. I cant stand it, but there isnt much i can do at the moment. pain and lack of motivation stops me from exercising but i am on a pescatarian diet. I will keep trying to get to the point that i can exercise. I can't come off HRT or meds, i have tried but i cant function at all off them. This is my life now and i haveto get use to it. i am thinking of buying a push bike to start riding around see if that helps.
hope you find a solution , good luck

how do you get off the hormones though without all the shocking symptoms coming back?

ill just deal with that when it comes ... i couldnt handle not being able to fit into any clothes it was depressing me . i never got bad hot flashes anyway and although helped with my anxiety at the beginning stopped working for that .
