Am I supposed to gain or lose weight when taking hormone replacement therapy?
My doctor just prescribed me cyclo-progynova (a hormone replacement therapy). I am 18 years old and she prescribed me this medicine to regulate my period. She didn’t say much about what problems I have. She just said my ovaries are a little (I don’t remember how she described it….sluggish ovaries or something like that?) lol sorry 
so my question now, am I supposed to lose or gain weight on this medication?
most of the time I feel I eat less than anyone in my age and yet I’m chunky and all my friends who eat like me or sometimes even more than me are skinnier.

She put you on HRT just because your ovaries are sluggish? Did a test result show that? The "replacement" in HRT is to do just that, replace what your body is not making properly. If that is what this med is doing, then your hormone levels should be at normal and should not have side effects like weight gain. I hope that your Dr. is monitoring your hormone levels to make sure they stay within normal levels on this medication.
