Oestrogel week 1 weight gain wtf

[itsonlyme44]

Ok 6 days into Oestrogel and over the weekend I've gained 3kg?!

My weight goes up with PMS etc but 3kg?!

Please share stories of water weight gain etc with happy endings!

For me I had it very badly bloating etc for the first two months, less by month three and now on month 7 and nothing.

Dont weigh yourself.. I didn't!

For me I rationalised it that my body had lost hormones gradually but all of a sudden was being deluged by the, of course you will bloat and swell.

My breasts were enormous, they've never looked so good! (I'm 32d and def went up a cup size temporarily).

I put on half a stone in less than two weeks when I started HRT! Despite absolutely no changes in diet and exercise.

I actually gave up with the HRT after about three months. It made me feel terrible. Most of the weight came off pretty quickly once I stopped. Friends who've kept going with it mostly say what PP says, that the weight is mostly just water/ bloating and it usually comes off once your body adjustst.

Update - it's all gone! Feel loads less bloated!
