Hey all I've only just started hrt patches, ive been give evoorel50 and conti mix. currently on my 3rd week. I'm 42 and the last year I have put on so much weight on my tummy and hips. I'm worried I will put even more on using these patches. I have researched online and it's contradictory information, some say they put weight on and some say they lose the weight. How have you ladies found the weight gain/loss

Neither for me. I put some weight on in untreated peri when I turned into a couch potato, once I was on hrt and felt human again I was more active and was able to lose it.

Hello Hbombb and welcome to the forum.
In my time I have used HRT pills, patches and gel and my weight hasn't changed much at all.
Since becoming post meno over ten years ago my shape has changed but I am still eight stone so for some of us our weight actually stays the same.
I hope this helps you in some way.
Wishing you well and take care.
K.

Thank you ladies. Most of mine was put on in the last 3 years. Drs think I was peri from 39 and in that time put alot on even despite joining a boot camp I couldn't lose the weight so I'm hoping I will be able to lose it now I'm on the patches as apparently it does speed up your matabalism. Hopefully I'll be full of energy soon and able to get back to my old (young) self
