Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of Hysterectomy 8 years ago, and you were on Giselle Dot which you have stopped recently. And now you have mild cramps in the lower abdomen and gained a few pounds. The probable causes are :There may be a problem with the ovaries as you have stopped Video Dot. In fact the hormonal changes would have caused all the problems you have. Consult your Endocrinologist and Gynecologist to have the readjustment of the dosage; Get ultrasonography done to find the changes. And you will be fine. Also needed may be a thought to be given for other possible diagnosis if the hormone levels are normal, including the possibility if IBS or so.
