Some unwanted effects of hrt: weight gain

        SOME UNWANTED EFFECTS OF HRT: WEIGHT GAIN
About a quarter of women starting on HRT experience a small weight gain (up to 3 kg) during the first cycle and for a few months after. A smaller proportion put on considerable weight, part of which seems to be due to fluid retention. Some other women gain weight because of increased muscle mass — because they have discovered exercise in midlife. In older women who already have trouble moving freely, further weight can present problems because it makes regular activity more difficult.
Heather was sixty-eight when her doctor suggested she go onto HRT because of a personal and family history of heart disease. (She had already had coronary bypass surgery and her mother had died of a heart attack.) Heather's weight shot up after starting on a twice-weekly oestrogen patch and daily progestogen tablets. The doctor reduced the dose of the patch but her weight increase continued, amounting to 13 kg over a ten-month period. In consultation with her doctor she embarked on a program of exercise and dieting aimed at getting her weight down and benefiting her heart. At the time of writing she was trying to decide whether HRT was worth the trouble. 'I'm looking at the information and making up my mind whether to continue with HRT,' Heather said.
