A member asked:
Can estrogen/progesterone cream cause weight gain? never had problems with weight until this year. gained 20lbs. not over eating.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Some hormonal regimens can cause some water retention and therefore weight gain. However, attributing a 20 pound weight gain to the hormones alone seems a bit of a stretch. Have you asked your ob/gyn about this? There are various types of hormone preparations to take, you may consider switching to see if that helps.
