I am 51 and still have periods. I had already started noticing the weight gain and the difficulties in losing it before HRT. A few months ago the GP prescribed me Evorel Conti for night sweats. It helped, and I sleep really well. But I feel the weight gain is worse. I no longer weight myself, I can't bear it, but I can tell. I am tempted to just stop the patches and see what happens. What does everyone think.
I know the most logical thing would be to go back to GP and have a chat but this I dread so much as they're unhelpful and actually quite rude.
