Re: vagifem?
I guess I never contributed the weight gain to the Vagifem. I started to gain it back before I started to take it. I am not gaining alot of weight if it is. I was told it was most likely the steroids. I am only about 5 lbs over where I started so I havent been to concerned but will definitely be on the lookout now. It has improved things for me and I am alot more comfortable. It did nothing for the hot flashes unfortunately. Its your decision. You can try it and if it doesnt work or you gain weight then stop taking it, its not something you have to take for your cancer. I wish I had better advise for you. This is just my experience. I wasnt told that the vagifem may cause me to gain weight. Good luck and keep us posted. Darlene
