Post menopausal on Everol 50 patch gained half stone

Since going on the patch Everol 50 I have seen my weight creep up a pound a week in some cases . My diet is extremely healthy , but I ache a lot particularly when it’s cold and wet . I went on HRT when I was 58 for two reasons , the fear of getting osteoporosis ( mother died suffering from it ) and for my mood and general well being . My GP listened to me and suggested I “ tweek “ it until the dose is better for me . The patch was a Everol 75 but I had the most terrible breast pain so went back to reduce it to 50 g . Breast pain gone , mood better now , aching still on joints arm neck and shoulder , but the weight has crept up but I am eating no more . Admittedly I don’t walk 5k everyday but I do nearly that in my 5-10k steps . Has any 64 year old felt the same ? Am I worrying over nothing or because I am now a size 16 rather than a 14 and hobble around on wet cold mornings before jumping in a hot shower ! I weigh 13 st 3 , and I am 5ft 7 ins , but I have always been less than 12 st usually . The weight has been creeping on over two years I think 🤔 so do I stop the patch , progesterone and see if it is the cause as I do not have hot flushes , insomnia or any other meno symptoms I just take it for my heart health and osteoporosis. Thank you followers ☺️

I think you might be better asking this in the menopause section @mnhq might be able to shift the thread?
