Does myfembree cause weight gain?

My doctor suggested Myfembree for my endometriosis, and I'm researching its side effects before I start. I'm particularly concerned about weight gain, as I've struggled with it before. Is this medication known to cause an increase in weight?

I totally get it, worrying about weight gain when you are already dealing with hormonal issues is so exhausting. Yes, Myfembree can cause some fluid retention or weight changes due to hormone fluctuations. Please be gentle with yourself and discuss this with your gynecologist.

I had a very tough time with hormonal pills and experienced sudden swelling. It is very important to monitor your weight and blood pressure closely while on Myfembree. Please see your doctor immediately if you notice rapid changes or severe headaches.

Hey! Hormonal meds can definitely cause a little bloating or water weight, but don't let it stress you out! Just stay active and eat clean. Talk to your doctor if you feel it's getting too much to manage.

I tried various herbal teas to reduce bloating when I was on hormonal therapy, but they only provide temporary relief. The weight gain is usually due to the drug itself. Speak to your doctor, as they can guide you on the right way to manage it.

As Myfembree is a hormone regulator, mild weight changes or bloating are quite common side effects. Keep an eye on your sodium intake to help with water retention. If the gain is significant, your doctor can look at alternative options.

Having dealt with PCOS hormonal shifts, I know how easily our bodies gain weight with these treatments. Myfembree affects estrogen levels, which can cause weight changes. It is best to keep your doctor updated without stressing too much.
