                        I had a complete hysterectomy on June 9, 1999.  I have since been on Estrace 2 mg. daily (7 days per week).  I have   gained approximately 10 pounds, constantly feel "bloated".  I know I have an increase amount of fluid because my rings, which were constantly big for me are now very tight.  The most  important thing is lately (about the last six months) I do not have a "Sexual appetite" at all.  My husband  has been more than patient with this situation.  Since I am only 41 years old, I am very concerned.  Estrace is only estrogen, I have been doing much research on the Internet and I have learned  that there is also a need for progestins (but I have also learned this can put added weight on also).  Then I have found out about testosterone creme would help also.  Please HELP !!!  At this point,  I do not know what to do.    Thanks,
