I was diagnosed with PMDD and also put on progesterone cream. After 7 months I have gained 12 lbs despite eating healthier! It's very frustrating! Progesterone cream is fat based and is meant to supplement the fat on the uterine lining provided by the progesterone hormone. So unfortunately weight gain comes with using the cream :( I found that topamax (used for severe migraines) which are usually associated with PMDD has proved significant weight loss. I am off of it now because I couldn't afford both prescriptions, but when I was on topamax I lost 50 lbs in a year!
