Does high progesterone cause weight gain?

I recently got my hormone test done and my progesterone is high. Does this weight gain go away on its own once the cycle ends? I am a bit worried.

Oh absolutely, it makes me want to eat a whole tub of ice cream and then blame my pants for shrinking! It is mostly water bloating and cravings, so don't be too hard on yourself. Just drink water and ignore the scale for a bit.

Yes, hormonal fluctuations definitely impact metabolism and appetite. When my partner went through this, she focused on meal prep to avoid ordering junk during busy work days. Managing stress is also key.

Look, hormones are tricky things. If you are experiencing sudden unexplained weight gain, don't guess things. Go to a gynecologist, get the tests, and follow their advice. Simple.

Hormones can upset the digestive fire, leading to heaviness in the body. Sipping on warm ginger tea or fennel water after food can help clear the bloating. Do consult a Vaidya or doctor for proper care.

Hey, don't worry about it too much. Progesterone naturally increases in the second half of your cycle, which causes bloating and sluggish digestion. It is very normal, just eat light home-cooked meals and rest well.
