Hi

I have has my dosage of Estradot increased from 50mg to 75mg (due to low estrogen levels) but my tummy has become very bloated. Will this settle down? They want to further increase my dose but not sure if this all settles down or not the right type?

Thanks

My gynae said it's the progesterone which causes bloating, so I see not necessarily the case.

I had a lot bloating and wind, really uncomfortable,
But it did settle down....

Oh it's not just me then!

I had this and only had oestrogel part of hrt for 2 weeks when I noticed it on say day 12. Had 1st utro last night which went without a hitch. I'm not loving the fat belly situ, is it a known side effect that fades?

I'm also worse in the evening. I guess better than the other way around.

Hi.  I suffered with all sorts of stomach issues, including bloating,  when I had to change my hrt.  I've been on Estradot patches for 4 months now.  However, I've found that the boating has now settled.   I still suffer with other stomach discomfort but I've always had these problems as I suffer with IBS so have ways of managing these in the main.

I would say try to stick with it for a bit longer if you can to see if things settle.  I found taking Buscopan helped a little with the bloating.

Wishing you well.

Hopefully it will fade away, mine did when my body got used to the hrt.
I used Deflatine, by Rennie.
They helped a lot. Xx
