Hello dear Greetings
Concerning your request to take hormone replacement pills for the hormone you are experience that are deficient I am suggesting that you see a gynecologist specialist for further clinical lab test will be done such as hormone profile test which will determine the particular hormone that is reduced thereafter a specific drugs will be prescribed for your post menopausal symptoms
Regarding weight gain yes hormone replacement therapy can cause increase in weight
I hope this helps Regards
