Hi Gail. I would highly recommend a saliva test. I will check around and see

if I can find the link I had to a place that had you take a sample five times in

a day and would see what your levels were over the day.

Without this you are playing a guessing game. You may be low in testosterone.

Or high. . .

Hi JP and all,

How old is your mom? How is she doing on the pregnenolone and DHEA?

What is the amount she is taking?

I am trying to find a proper balance for my own hormonal problems.

Have been using progesterone cream for quite some time now. Lately,

I just don't feel balanced. Whether it is from hormones or from my

vitamin supplements, I do not know. I feel hormonal, weepy and

sleeping a lot. I tried to come off the cream but felt like I still

needed it. I got some of the DHEA and pregnenolone and started

taking 25mg. of DHEA once in the morning and 50 mg. of pregenolone

twice a day. I decided on that dose after reading up a little on the

internet about the two. They seemed to help me but felt even more

sleepy. I just can't seem to find the correct balance. And my

vitamin supplements, especially magnesium, is also making me very

sleepy. At any rate, I went to the HFS today and bought a bottle of

pre-natal vitamins. Illogical I'm sure, but decided if I was acting

and feeling like a pregnant woman, I might as well treat myself as

such. I figured their vitamins would be balanced. I'm really not

this menopausual woman losing grips on reality wanting one last baby

and thinking I'm pregnant when I'm really not. I simply want to find

the balance here.

Has anybody else had any trouble with the progesterone cream and what

are some recommendations for menopause. I know Jim recommended the

pregnenolone and DHEA or DR. Schulze's female tincture. I actually

searched the archives on this one, but does anybody have any personal

experience that they have been successful with.

Many thanks,

Gail

Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. I was talking about having

a hair analysis to the lady at the health food store today to see

what vitamins/minerals one needed. I was hoping others who had

successful stories would write in. Everybody has to go through

menopause so there has to be a trick to it somewhere. One of these

days I might even break down and go to a naturopath and get a good

checkup. But if I can find some kind of balance on my own, I

probably won't. Gail
