I gained weight BEFORE I went on bioidentical hormones, about 15 pounds, despite being active and health conscious. It was the absence of hormones that did it. Of this I have no doubt. There's NO evidence that hormones in the right balance cause weight gain. The key is balance. Which hormones are you taking--hopefully it includes testosterone (assuming your levels are low--mine were nonexistent)? Testosterone helps build muscle...you should see my "guns." But all joking aside, I'd recommend talking to your doc about all three hormones -- progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone. It takes a little tweaking but it's worth it. Pink E.
