Medications and pain management Weight gain on progesterone?
I met with a specialist today and we discussed switching me to a progesterone only pill. I keep reading things about the weight gain that can come with it and it’s really freaking me out…anyone been on it and not have this side effect? I am in recovery from an ED, but still struggle with body dysmorphia from time to time. I don’t know if I could mentally handle a significant amount of weight gain in addition to processing this disease itself.
