Morning.  Have you had a thyroid function blood test recently as when the thyroid is out of kilter, weight may increase.

Yes, good thinking, especially oral estrogen.

Have you thyroid checked and think about changing to transdermal or patches which has a less adverse effect on your thyroid function.
