Re: pregnenolone / DHEA - affect on menstrual cycles

[Guest guest]

Dear :

Is pregnenolone considered the " mother of all hormones " ? I am already

supposed to be taking DHEA but have stopped. It seemed to be helping my

energy but now I have lost my menstrual cycle. I was wondering if any

other ladies had this happen or if it is just a coincidence and something

else ...like perimenopause is to blame????

Teena,

I started it after menopause so I can't say. But it has grown hair where I

really do not enjoy it at all! I backed off partway.

I use it in a sublingual spray form and take only the tiniest amounts every so

often. Get a bit of a boost. I haven't checked levels of testosterone since I

backed down, but when I was taking it very regularly, even though I was getting

a minute fraction of a dose, my testosterone levels were outside the range for

females.

I also started taking pregnenolone after menopause. I take a little

DHEA and a little testosterone as well as a little estrogen -

" bioidentical " hormones. At first the pregnenolone made me feel

much better, and like everything else, the effects have worn off.

My hormones are monotored by my doc and are in a good range. As

for effects, nothing one cannot expect for my (yuck) age.

Thanks for all who shared their experiences / side effects with me. I

will look into the 7-Keto.
