I also had considerable weight gain (more than you!) from HRT but it's not common, and after a 2 year journey I have come to the conclusion that it's because my Estrogen has been too high in relation to my Progesterone. I tried for a long time to reduce the HRT but would then get rebound side effects, so I don't think it was the E level in itself that has been the issue. Progesterone is often the forgotten hormone in terms of well being, but the balance between both E and P is so critical, as well as the levels themselves. Have you had a blood test recently to check the levels of both? X
