40 is a little young to start Menopause, but not unheard of, it can happen. I started @ 49, for 1 year, I would bleed for 7 weeks, then it stop, started, did that for a year. I have not had a period for 2 yrs now. I started gaining weight a little weight in my mid section, I also got very depressed. I'm not a depressed type, always happy, not moody. I had to go on Prempro, it took 2 weeks, I was better.
I am age 66. At age 50 my GYN put me on Prempro. I had no symptoms of menopause. He said that it will happen and I can prevent the discomfort of it by starting estrogen therapy. He was right, I have never had any of the things people talk about. What I am wondering, would I maybe not even had the symptoms anyway? I have been on it for 16 years now. My GYN has now prescribed a low dose, but how do I know if I even need it? I am basically healthy.

The next day, September 18, I abruptly stopped the Prempro and let my doctor know I felt I had been on the Prempro long enough and also due to the breast cysts. So for me it's only been a little over a month since I've stopped the Prempro. I was told I don't need to return for a year.
That is amazing your screening showed no cysts after six months. this gives me hope.
I'm 55 years of age and menopausal. Last week I had an vagibal ultrasound showing endometrial thickness of 18 mm. My ovaries were normal. Just 7 months ago I had a vaginal ultrasound and it was normal with my endometrium 2.9mm. I was on birth control pills at that time and have been taking them for over 10 years. I have no vaginal bleeding or discomfort. I started Prempro last month for a month, but stopped due to symptoms of bloatness and weight gain.
Three days ago I went to a new doctor to get the hormones adjusted and she said she does not prescribe bioidenticals and gave me a prescription for Prempro. I do not want to take this and I told her so. She said she does not believe bioidenticals are any safer than Prempro and if I needed to have an adjustment in my Rx due to break through symptoms of hot flashes and severe brain fog along with zero energy then I needed to try something different than what I had been doing.
Recently the doctor changed my Prempro dosage from .45/1.5 mg per day to double that amount. Do you think the change in Prempro could change my thyroid levels?
Should I request new thyroid blood tests or wait for my annual testing which comes up in 6 months?
They are certainly the preferred method is some remedy is necessary. Most writings will say that they do not increase the risk. Like most other substances they are better obtained from foods.
Hoodia is an appetite suppressant that has not been very well studied. In fact, its efficacy is often questioned. I am not aware of any side-effects of this supplement. Certainly, if you think that there is a temporal relationship between your starting the hoodia and poor blood pressure control you should you could probably assume that the two are somehow related.
I'm 20w+1 and have only gained 11lbs after dropping 15.. So I am still regaining what I lost just slowly.
Most women in a healthy weight range gain anywhere from 25-40lbs. However I don't stress over weight gain. As long as you and baby are healthy its all good!!
Plus a friend of mine who is 37 weeks didn't start gaining till around 32. Don't stress! Just make sure you keep eating well.
Generally speaking, to lose weight calorie intake must be less than you burn with activity, and to gain weight you must take in more calories than you burn. This situation (being underweight and pregnant) is about the only time women have to work to get more calories, but to do so, find foods you like and eat a lot of them. Sometimes pregnant women lose their appetite, so this will be a very individualized thing.
My weight is very up and down with this pregnancy. With my daughter I gained a lot! Like 60 lbs. I know that's not healthy so I've been watching what I eat this time around. Here's how it goes I'm 24 weeks, at 3 mos I had gained 6lbs which my ob said was perfect weight gain. At 4mos I had lost 5lbs, 5mos gained 6lbs, 3 weeks later lost 4lbs. So has anybody else had this problem? I'm worried I'm not gaining like I should. Everything I read says 12 lbs by this point.
It really depends.. If u r high risk pregnancy etc n hve medical conditions thn putting on weight too quickly might be a problem.. But u should always discuss it with ur doctor... Gaining weight in pregnancy is very common.. It depends on ur diet n metabolism... I gained only 8lb till 20wks... Now i hve gained 32lbs i m 33wks...
My dear you and I are due around the same dates :) mine is Nov 26th
In my case I got bloated since I've been pregnant, bloating adds weight on the scale although it's not a permanent sort of a weight gain. Could it be that most of your weight gain is also because maybe you have become bloated? Dtinking more water & controlling the amount of artificial sugars & eating healthy helps :) wish you the best !!
I'm almost 28 weeks and gained 55 pounds, is that a lot? When I found out at (8 weeks) we was pregnant I weighed 186 I didn't gain any weight for three months. Everyone thinks I'm to big or have twins but there's just one boy in there. Has anyone gained a lot?

I was 290 pre pregnancy and went to doctor yesterday at 22 weeks and was 286. It was also my first time meeting the high risk attending, she said since I was considered obese pre pregnancy I'm to gain no weight. I would just ask your doctor what he/she recommends.
