    The thing about the weight is tricky. If you say "bloated" and/or they assume that your retaining water, that would indicate estrogen dominance because that is one of the side effects. BUT, if the weight gain is due to increased apetite, well, that's a bit different. The progestin comes into play in this case. Estrogen is used to alleviate hot flashes, so it makes sense that you're having them more often after the estrogen dose was reduced.

    [QUOTE=boysRsmelly;64659]Gizmo - Actually, they just switched me to a pill with a lower estrogen dose because I was complaining about my weight. They said try this pill and stop eating bread. But now I've been having hot flashes more often. Geez... you'd think I was my mom's age.[/QUOTE]

    I'm sure my doctor just threw these ones at me to shut me up. I suppose I do feel less bloated though. LOL! But I still need to stop eating so much...

    Isn't that because of your other issues though?

    Cool Re: whats every one doing?

    Grandma! What, are you 100 years old? As far as I'm concerned you're that femme fatale in your signature. Actually, I've often wondered if that's you. And you, brs, you have the funniest name ever

    I am at work...trying to get stuff done. I am having a really bad day and wish I could take off, but I have SO MUCH to do it's not even funny. I just want to lay my head on my desk and cry..but you can't cry in corporate america if you are a woman...even if your boss is a girl. I wish I could though. If I had an office, I would shut the door and cry.

    I hate "Corporate America." With a few exceptions, it dehumanizes and demoralizes us.
