Hi
I have been using Vagifem since September 2016. Firstly twice a week and more often since January (on advice). I have noticed my weight creeping up. Has anyone else noticed this? Could there be a connection. I am not on full systemic HRT or any other medication.

No - but my weight tends to stay the same anyway.

The only unwanted effect I noticed was more bleeding.  It was hard to pin this on vagifem as I was getting more frequent random bleeds anyway at the time.

No, I have used it for 6 years now and I weigh 2kg less than when I started it.

In my experience hormonal upheaval can interfere with your weight.  I am now well post meno and everything is more stable, including my weight 

Other factors can affect weight, have you had your thyroid levels checked?

Nope.  Eating more causes weight gain or occasionally, illness.

Hormones in general may cause weight gain/loss but there is so little uptake in local oestrogen replacement that it is un-likely.

Thanks everyone.
