HRT Weight Gain Sandrena and Utrogestan
« on: August 10, 2023, 11:36:42 PM »

Hi
I'm just wondering whether anyone else has had this experience. I have always been a Size 8, if anything a bit underweight. I was eventually prescribed Sandrena 1mg and Utrogestan about a year ago (continuous) and ever since, I have noticed a steady weight gain and lots of bloating. I dropped the Sandrena to 0.5mg about 3 months ago but no difference with the weight. I am very active, work full-time and go to the gym regularly and am seriously considering stopping HRT just to try to regain my figure as I'm now getting very self conscious about it all. I don't overeat, I haven't done anything different apart from start the medication. Any advice/thoughts? Thanks

Hi Dancemum or anyone else gaining weight on Sandrena,

I wondered how things are a year in as I have been on Sandrena for a couple of months and I have put on half a stone and look very pregnant! It’s getting embarrassing when I look at my constantly protruding stomach. Did things improve for you?
