I'm 45 and was told I was in menopause 2 years ago. I have no children as I have had Infertility issues. I tried at least 4 different HRT tablets but nothing worked and my weight balooned. 6 weeks ago I had the coil fitted and I'm on Progynova 1mg Oestrogen tablets but I'm still bloating. I'm at the end of my rope now as I go on holiday in 4 weeks and refuse to buy anymore clothes. I'm thinking of coming off HRT completely and taking Menopace Herbal. Anyone else taking this? thanks x
Water weight gain is a problem when taking HRTs Are you on three different HRTs and what are the dosages.
I only take 1mg of estrdiol and 2.5mg of provera.
It could be the combination of the three HRTs that you are on. Now my urologist told me that I was holding water two weeks ago
Do you eat a lot of salty foods i would lay off the salty fooids and fast foods and try to eat fruits and vegies and do a lot of walking
I'm only on oestrogen HRT because I have the coil
Jenni: Sometime if you don't get enough estrogen it throws your hormones into a tizzy, and then you actually gain weight. I would suggest you have blood tests to determine whether you have enough hormones, and possibly need more estrogen. I take Minivale or Vivelle Dots...they are great....You just stick them on the top of your leg and it measures how much you need. I started losing weight with the patches...Hope this helps...
thank you for this Carole.......... I have appt at GP on 5th Aug and I'll ask about this x
