Anyone have trouble with weight gain with HORMONE pills?

Just wondering if anyone else finds they have this problem.  I have gained 12 pounds in the last month and my doctor is saying it is due to the hormones that I am taking.  I have been dieting and still gaining weight.  HELP PLEASE!

Hi Elle.....I have been taken hormones for over ten years. I also think it is hard to lose with them. I am a very slow loser. I had had some success losing on Weight  Watchers. But I feel you have to stay on it all the time to maintain. Good luck and keep trying. I will stay on my pills because I feel so much better taken them..........Linda 

My mom gained about 10 pounds when she began hormones.  She quit taking them and the weight came back off.  She is trying some natural remedy right now.  Not sure what it is called or how it is working. 

On top of everything else, I've had some trouble with constipation, so I've had to take some laxatives and also some kaeaxilate due to high potassium and that sent me running too, I have now as of this morning lost 5 of those 12 dreaded pounds and my PCP 1/2'd my dose of hormones.  I got to looking back at my old Rx of hormones and the doctor had quadupled my mgs that I was taking before.  I was taking 0.5 mg and he had me on 2 mg daily my PCP told me to cut them in half, so that is what I'm doing now.  I wish I were still on the 0.5 and I very well may call and ask if he will prescribe me that one instead, cause I can't 1/4 my tablets.  They are just too small.  This kaeaxleate is killing me but I only have to take it one a week.  It sure will clean out a system well.  Shewwwwweee....just like mag citrate.  Oh my goodness....,.. just thankful I don't have to take it daily as recommended on the directions.  Goodness......  Thanks for all ya'lls replies and suggestions.  I AM gonna get this weight off if it's the last thing I do.
