Can hormone replacement therapy make you gain weight? |
My ovaries were removed in August and my doc prescribed EstraTest, which contains a bit of testosterone (he said it is natural for a 30yr old to have some). In a few weeks I started sprouting hairs on my chin so I asked for something without male hormone. I have been taking straight estrogen since and have been gaining weight like CRAZY! Could it be the hormones, or am I just pulling the wool over my own eyes? I've been on premarin for a few years and have no problem with weight gain. I have been on other types of meds that do make me gain weight but not the hormones. You could read your pharmacy packet and see if weight gain is a side effect of your drug or call your pharmacist and ask. Good luck. The depo is a hormone shot and you gain weight with it. Alot of weight. So think about it. As my doctor always says : Its not the hormones, its you. I have been on pure estrogen hormones for 18 years now. I lose or gain weight simply by eating less or more (sweets, starch etc). Its up to the woman herself to either control her eating habits or let go. Good luck. |
