Progesterone is supposed to assist with weight loss. I'm 56 and started using bio-identical progesterone two months ago. I started gaining weight a couple weeks ago and I don't understand why since I've increased my exercise significantly. I think it has to do with a paradoxical effect of the progesterone initially causing an increase in estrogen. I feel so much better that I'm going to tough it out and give it a chance. Hopefully this is just a temporary effect that will go away once my hormones are in balance.
