How long does menopause weight gain last?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Many women gain weight around menopause starting as early as from 40 years of age which can be controlled by healthy eating habits and physical activity. There is no rule which applies commonly for all women in terms of this duration of weight gain but on an average it is 5 years.

I'm noticing that on the third day of my period, there's either no flow or it's really light, and this has been happening for the past couple of months. Is this something I should be concerned about, or is it just a normal variation?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My last menstrual period was on May 10, and I started Clomid on May 16, following my gynecologist's advice. I have hypothyroidism with TSH at 2.74, normal T3 and T4 levels, but my anti-TPO is quite high at 500. My period is now over 70 days late. A urine pregnancy test was negative on the 55th day, and the ultrasound showed 5 cysts on my ovaries. My gynecologist then prescribed Meprate 10mg. But today, I took another urine pregnancy test, and it came out positive. I'm confused because I've only had contact with my husband on July 8 and in May. Could this be a pregnancy? If so, what should I do next? When should I actually see my gynecologist again? And is there any risk to my pregnancy if Ive been on Meprate? Could you please guide me?
