Weight gain?

Morning

After some advice please, been on HRT since Aug and really helped. I’m on 50 patch and 12 day’s utrogestan. The thing is I’ve piled weight on and feel like I’m holding water too. At first did make me a little bit more hungry but this settles down and of course we’ve had Christmas. I’m going to join a gym. Has anyone else found HRT did this, am I a too much oestrogen? . Also at the end of the day I’ve been feeling achy. Any advice be great thanks.

I’ve put weight on front and back, can’t shift it.
Try omega 3 for achy joints.

Mine was just water and disappeared after a few months though progesterone stage made it worse each month.

I can lose weight, lost 7lb for my summer holiday last year but still had a swollen stomach at the same weight I'd usually be able to see my hips.

But the HRT benefits are far outweighing weight gain. I'm on double the oestrogen and after a year taking it, have no swelling and my weight is totally normal.
