I am 47 years old and have been on the Wiley for 9 years, my menstrual cycle got out of control. My doctor said that the Wiley was not working for me and prescribed the Minivelle patch and prometrium. I did not gain weight on the Wiley, but I'm worried I might on this because of all the postings online, however, I will be on a much lower dose of estradiol.

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Common side effects of the Minivelle patch include: headache, breast tenderness, back and limb pain, common cold, upset stomach, nausea, inflammation of the sinuses and irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting
Common side effects of Prometrium include: dizziness, spinning sensation, abdominal pain (cramping), headache, breast pain or tenderness, musculoskeletal pain, joint pain, viral infection, diarrhea, nausea, bloating, fatigue, hot flashes, cough, acne, increased hair growth, changes in weight, vaginal itching/dryness
As you can see prometrium can cause weight gain. However, these drugs effect everyone a bit differently. So, is it not possible to know which side effect will or will not effect you.
