I increased my aygestin .5 daily in combo with Estradiol .5 daily and feel that this the reason I have gained 12 lbs over 6mo. want to get to the lowest dose and get back into my clothes again. Has anyone else done this combo and gained or lost weight? I now have excess belly around the middle that I never had before. I am a 55yr. old. menopausal woman.
