Went off Oestrogel, tummy seems far less bloated

[Lentilweaver]

Anyone experience the same? I am post menopause and been on 2 pumps of Oestrogel for about 16 months. Has helped greatly with sleep, hot flushes and energy. But I have been putting on a lot of weight on my tummy plus breasts and feeling bloated. Diet is great and I exercise a fair bit.
I decided to taper down over the last 3 weeks, and my tummy seems to have decreased a bit. I feel less bloated too and can fit in size 10 jeans. Am I imagining things?

What progesterone were you on?

i had a hysterectomy a few years ago, so no progesterone. Sorry should have said.

I'm on Oestrogel and it has increased my tummy size and bum size markedly! I dont like it! But i need it for my symptoms.

Are you off or on a lower dose. I’ve been on three years - 2 pumps and long cyclical (still) p as so intolerant. Wondering about going down to one pump to see how I feel.

And yes feel bloated and boobs are massive!

My boobs are slowly increasing in size which I am pleased with but not the massive ones I want.

what is a definition of massive boobs?

Yes it does that. I'm finding that even the topical cream for atrophy does that to me.

Well they weren’t small to start with but now even bigger… erm rounder, which in my 50s is good… but maybe too large now!

your very lucky! Im jealous!

I have gone off completely. Feel ok.

My boobs went from an A cup to C, which I wasn't happy about. I don't want large boobs.
