Hi I'm in the same boat as everyone on here. I'm 35 yrs old and had been having night sweats hair loss puffy face and hands and acne after finally going off of the pill and weight gain as well 20 pounds despite following a very clean diet and crossfit workouts 6 days a week. It's embarrassing to tell people I Workout that much and weigh what I do:( I started on bio identical hormones first just progesterone and swelling in face and breasts was much worse painful in fact then on dhea and bi est my nails are awesome for the first time in my life but my hair is still falling out and still have trouble wearing my rings and w cystic acne any help would be greatly appreciated I'm sick of eating under my cal for my fitness pal working my but off in a gym and looking like I do and feeling this way all from going off the pill 2+ yrs ago. Thank you
