Severe Mood Swings, Weight Gain After Changing The Pellet In Pellet Placement From Tocar. Have Issue Absorbing Hormones Orally. Help

I have been on HRT compound therapy for almost 4 years now. I have an issue absorbing the hormones orally. We recently switched to pellet placement from a tocar...A small incision in my rear and they place a pellet that is a time release. My dr recently switched the company he was getting the pellet from. After this last insertion I am raging. the moods are across the board. I am gaining weight within two weeks I have put on 5 pounds and changed nothing in my diet. I feel like I have too much estrogen but the dosage is the same.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Different brands differ in quality & absorption rates of hormones. You can wait for few weeks (1-2) to see if symptoms settle. If not, you can consult your doctor to remove the pellet & replace with the previously used brand.
Wish you good health.
Regards.
