Does anyone feel extra hungry on HRT? The progesterone fortnight makes me ravenous

I'm on Evorel Sequi, started it in March. I'm finding that my appetite massively increases during the fortnight when I'm on the 'Conti' patch. It's a bit of an annoying side effect.

My horrendous night sweats stopped completely when I started the patches. I'm just wondering if it's normal to get this hungry.

I swing between continuous and cyclical
progesterone and the rabid hunger is part of the reason. It’s horrible. It doesn’t matter what I eat I’m still so hungry it hurts. Sorry not to offer any help.

Same for me! Progesterone in general makes me hungry. This was true for me before hrt, my own progesterone would make me hungry for the whole 2nd half of my cycle.

Yes, absolutely, same here.
Changed to using it vaginally now for this reason
