My ovaries were removed in August and my doc prescribed EstraTest, which contains a bit of testosterone (he said it is natural for a 30yr old to have some). In a few weeks I started sprouting hairs on my chin so I asked for something without male hormone. I have been taking straight estrogen since and have been gaining weight like CRAZY! Could it be the hormones, or am I just pulling the wool over my own eyes?

I've been on premarin for a few years and have no problem with weight gain. I have been on other types of meds that do make me gain weight but not the hormones. You could read your pharmacy packet and see if weight gain is a side effect of your drug or call your pharmacist and ask. Good luck.

As my doctor always says : Its not the hormones, its you. I have been on pure estrogen hormones for 18 years now. I lose or gain weight simply by eating less or more (sweets, starch etc). Its up to the woman herself to either control her eating habits or let go. Good luck.

The depo is a hormone shot and you gain weight with it. Alot of weight. So think about it.

nicely i'm not particular, inspite of the indisputable fact that it in all likelihood does. I recommend, verify out how massive a cow is. human beings consistently search for suggestion from with an overweight human being as a cow, or as a hieffer. And only a short note to "LeeA", those meals are literally not inevitably the reason we are an overweight usa. this is because we(oftentimes talking), are lazy, spoiled, and devour a lot of crappy, fat and carb loaded meals.
