Anyone lost their appetite on HRT?

[rookiemere]

I started HRT patches on Tuesday this week and since then my appetite has more or less disappeared.

I imagine it feels similar to being on weight loss injections. I generally love food, but now I find I am
ambivalent about it and only eat when I feel
I should or my tummy rumbles.

I am quite overweight so this is a good thing as I could do with shifting 1-2 stone. I am
also aware that HRT may not be a long term solution for me as I have endometriosis and it may flare up again.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this loss of appetite- I was terrified I would put weight and it looks like the opposite will happen.

Must be just me then !

Yes on the oestrogen patch an also very thirsty but it changes when you switch to the progesterone patch unfortunately.

Oh I didn’t realise you changed patch ?

The ones I am on you do,evorel sequi,oestrogen for 2 weeks the oestrogen and progesterone for 2 weeks.

Ah I might be different as I am still on cerazette contraceptive for the progesterone due to endometriosis. Fingers crossed anyway!

Yes, my appetite has all but disappeared since starting HRT 2 years ago. Have never a a particularly big appetite anyway.
I started on sequential HRT for 18 months and when I changed to continuous and taking progesterone daily my appetite vanished.

I wish!

I can confirm that I have not had that experience on conti HRT!

I think conti is what I am on.
Its so weird, I have always had a hearty appetite but now I am forcing myself to eat.
Not complaining mind !

If only. ....
