I do not feel bloated on mine. I felt much worse before I started taking

I use 0.025 and did not have this issue.

I’m on that same dose. I already sport a lower belly bulge and I didn’t notice an increase when I started the patch.
However a few months after I started the patch, my boobs swelled quite a bit. I was ok with it as they had become deflated. I also had a big uptick in libido. After a month or so both of these things calmed down.

I had to stop. Like PP after 3 months I was miserable.

I had some bloating but it subsided as my body got used to it.

I went on progesterone only BC for heavy periods in perimenopause at 53. The bloating was awful. I felt like I was gaining weight. I went off them after 3 months. I started taking rhodiola, magnesium and phosphatidyl serine supplements. Much better. Periods have now stopped at 54. No more bloating.
