I have been on Estratest for a couple of years and feel like a new person. I have more interest in sex and my energy level is much higher. The downside is that I have gained weight. I was on Estratest half strength in the beginning and that did not seem to make a difference so I went to full strength. I had a hysterectomy last spring and have gained even more weight around my midsection. I am 43 and not terribly overweight at 145 lbs but I feel I am losing ground quickly. I could eat anything I wanted without gaining weight when I was younger but now my bad habits are beginning to tell on me. I have considered switching back to half strength Estratest to see if that would help with the weight gain.
