Hi all

So glad to have found this forum smile

I had a hysterectomy at 30, right ovary removed at 32, left ovary removed at 38.

I was riddled with endo, but am now endo free YAY!!

I decided to go on the HRT when I lost my last ovary, and noticed a significant change in my body shape and find it really hard to keep my weight down. Weight has always been an issue for me anyway.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Can't answer your question re HRT and weight gain, but having gone through menopause, weight gain is definitely an issue. 5+ kgs have snuck on despite best efforts.....Quite common I believe as your metabolism changes in response to a drop in estrogen
