Hi All... I've been here around a week (or so) and posted in the New Members section... but Hi to all who haven't passed by that way...
I've been post meno around 5 years after a long peri phase. Been battling pretty rubbish symptoms and avoided HRT for various reasons - mainly fear of cancer and a dislike of synthetic HRT. However I've finally had enough and started on the Oestrogel I was prescribed some years ago. It's been a week now. I will start the Utrogestan200 tonight.
I've noticed I have gained weight and my uterus feels sensitive... it has bloated considerably. I'm guessing it's the change in balance.. rise in oestrogen. Will this eventually settle?
What should I expect withthe progesterone increase?
Does anyone have similar/same and have any advice or good news? I was hoping to loose a little weight not gain it! I eat a good balanced diet but could probably step up the excercise... hula hoop being put together as we speak
