Title: Weight gain
Post by: Pollydollydoodle on January 15, 2023, 01:22:20 PM

Hi. I had my coil fitted early nov and started HRT late nov, so fairly new to both, but I seem to have rapidly gained weight in the same timeframe. I know it's been Christmas but I didn't really over indulge (had the lurgy), but I've gained almost a stone in 6 weeks. It just seems too coincidental 🤷🏼‍♀️ Any thoughts or similar experiences and advice on how to shift the belly fat would be most welcome 🤗 Px

Morning.  I assume that you have weighed regularly on the same scales, at the same time of day?

My apron dropped so that I look fatter but I haven't gained weight.  I don't take HRT so it may be a side effect.  Is there any info in the leaflet in the box?
