Anne-Marie, what medications are you on? Are you on any bc? Are you on any
med to help control the male hormone? Everyone is different but if you are
not on a bc or male hormone controller, you are most likely going to gain
weight very easily because the male hormone makes us gain weight no matter
what we do. Hope this helps!
