Hi ladies , I have been prescribed this pill , to use for 3 weeks on then a break of 2 week , I have read side effects  :o

Has anyone used this and not gained weight or is it a given that it puts weight on you .

Sadly most leaflets in the boxes of medications across the board will put every little possibility forwards because of our litigious society.

I havne't put on any weight with any of the treatments even though there were 'risks' written on the leaflets  ::)

MayB put the product name into the search box on the Forum to see what pops up?

Hi I’ve been using it for two years and haven’t put any weight at all on. I was fat before I started!  ;D X

Sadly I put weight on with any sort of progesterone, noresthisterone included 😞. I am slim but blow up on the progesterone part of my hrt, then drop it again when I come off it x

That's probably not weight gain/loss, that's mayB caused by the body holding onto fluids  :-\.  Some of my peer group would balloon in the week B4 a bleed.  Water retention  >:(
