Weight gain after starting HRT - does it mean I'm on the wrong dose

[NDornotND]

I've gained around 5 kg since starting on Evorel patches and Estriol cream in September. I am eating more because I feel really hungry, whereas my appetite was easier to satiate before. Do I just need to try and modify my behaviour or have others found that adjusting the dose and/or type of HRT helps?

I put on weight at the start through bloating. Once I was through the first few months and changed my progesterone to the coil, I stopped bloating and my weight went back to normal.

If modify my behaviour for a few months and wait for it all to settle.
