Almost Instant Weight Gain With HRT Patches !

I was recently prescribed HRT patches (femseven Conti) and just two weeks in, I've decided to take them off and not bother anymore. In just a fortnight my tits have increased so much in volume that my usually well fitting bra is bursting to hold them in as they bulge out over the top. They are also very tender and heavy. My trousers that were loose beforehand are now tight on my waist and bum, even though I haven't been overeating. Granted, the hot flushes disappeared pretty much instantly as soon as the first patch was stuck on but, if I'm honest I'd rather suffer the hot flushes than feel horribly fat all the time. I know this topic has probably been covered many times before, but has anyone else found they've rapidly gained weight using them?

I can't wait for the hormone to rid itself from my body (any ideas how long this takes?) and for my chest to revert back to it's saggy self.

the big boobs are due mainly to it being conti hrt. if you want to stay on it there are literally a dozen or more ways of using hrt, which won't necessarily result in weight gain ir boob growth. I've used hrt for 11 years and no weight gain at all, bra size barely a cup size bigger.
