Yes although in an artificial way. I was put into a chemical menopause for 6 months. After 3 months of it I was about to quit so they put me on HRT to alleviate the worst of the symptoms. In one month I put on 20 lbs. I was on Premarin.

Yes. It was very gradual, but it went on, and was very, very hard to shift. It also stayed on for a long time after I came off the HRT. I had the same problem years ago with the pill, so I guess some people are susceptible to this with any kind of hormone treatment.

Yes its a common thing to put on weight while on HRT but its also a consequence of the age aswell since metabolism slows down at the age of menopause.

Weight gain on HRT is common.
