Hi, me again..my tummy is big don't know if it's bloated or just fat trying not be paranoid with it, does it go down after the menopause anyone knows I hope so, I know it won't be like when we was in our 20's but like before this Lol..have you all got this too.
Mine got like that too when I got to 45 years and worse after I hit menopause at 50 last year. Belly would not go until I started taking HRT and also exercising like crazy. Gym weight training in the morning. Cardio, running in the evenings. Believe me now I look thirty five :D. My friends, family amazed.
I will exercise it, if i can have to find belly tips Lol
Can help but be curious. Hope you don’t mind. So what form of HRT ? dosage? Any other side effects?
You give me hope.
That sounds awesome... And yes, I'm sure you do look younger!! It's so hard to stick with a plan/routine UGH
I've heard HRT can help but I'm hesitant. Anyone else have thoughts on HRT and weight loss?
Primarin (Estrogen) Naturogest (progesterone) and Cernos (Testosterone) Not sure about the dosage will check and get back. I have some side effects like acne at times, burning dry eyes at times (I wear contact lenses) but thats all. No other side effects.
Thanks Mee. If you don't mind, how old are you, and how soon after meno did you start our HRT?
I just got on bhrt, like today. How long before you felt better?
i'm 51. Menopause started at 50 and I started HRT after six months. For me it was not gradual. My libido skyrocketed the last year before menopause. My hormones were crazy and all i could think of was sex. But the month after my periods stopped (it stopped suddenly, no gradual winding down) the libido dropped to subzero! I felt absolutely nothing. And my tummy kept growing at an alarming rate (it had already become disproportionately large in the last three years prior to menopause) Then I started HRT. Things are so much better though libido nowhere close to what it was before. Exercise really helped after starting HRT. Metabolic rate seems to be higher as i find it easier to lose weight and tummy is now muscular and flat except a small pouchy feeling as the skin on top has always been a bit loose after two Cesarean deliveries back to back, twenty years ago. I was 65 kgs before starting HRT and now down to 52. I can fit into my daughter's dresses.
