Can Megestrol Causes Clotting Of The Blood And Weight Gain?

I have Hyperplasia without atypia and am considering my options. The Dr. has suggested magesterol as a course of treatment for 6 months and then evaluate. What are the risks? Is the a bio-identical hormone? I worry about blood clots and weigh gain, although the other listed side effects are daunting too. I can also do surgery, but will I need to take hormones even after a hysterechtomy?
