Studies have shown inconclusive results as it pertains to DHEA consumption. We're better off sticking with progesterone, estradiol and testosterone if there's no improvement in libido. There was one tiny study done on DHA in women and I believe the sample size consisted of women in their 70s and 80s and it only showed a mild benefit whereas for women under that age We need more studies so we can't really conclusively say whether it works or not. Doctor M Claire Haver who is an expert in this field does not prescribe or recommend DHEA
I went and read the studies on DHEA in women and decided to not take it. For me the acne and facial hair will not be worth the boost in hormones if nobody felt any relief from symptoms because for me relieving the symptoms is the point.
i felt burning hot because i started with 50mg, had cold sweats as well and my heart was a bit fast. i only took for a week. the pain was because the progesterone for sure but i even stopped my adhd meds and all supplements. after stoping hrt for three days, the pain was still there so i had to do a water fasting to reduce my pain and inflammation, maybe kidneys cant stand the pills. i finally feel better from the pain but of course i am not sleeping… i am going to the doc Monday and i am praying for direction. i hope you find your perfect dosage.
Wow, 50mg seems so high! I can’t imagine how that felt, given the way 25mg made me feel. My neck and chest felt like they were on fire, and my upper arms had a prickly feeling. I’m lowering to 10mg starting today. For sleep, have you ever tried Trazodone? It’s the only thing that has ever worked for me without side effects.
@@TheGlitterFiles What does pregnenolone do for a woman? Women who suffer from depression, stress and anxiety, and other mood disorders may find relief from taking this in supplement form. In addition, pregnenolone may help improve sleep quality and duration, which can also have an even more beneficial impact on mood regulation and mental well-being. Pregnenolone is known as the 'brain' hormone as that's one of its main function. I am very curious about this. i may need to check my liver and kidneys before taking more meds and supplements. but i want to keep looking for a way to sleep longer.
In females, a low level of pregnenolone can signify various health concerns and hormonal imbalances, potentially leading to specific symptoms. These may include fatigue, mood swings, decreased libido, irregular menstrual cycles, and difficulties with stress management.
@@TheGlitterFiles Pregnenolone is known as the "mother hormone" or "pro-hormone" because it's the starting material for the production of many other hormones in the body. Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland that serves as a precursor to over 150 other steroid hormones, including cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. These hormones are essential for regulating various bodily functions.
It is tempting! But I’m afraid that filler would look bad on me because I’m a sagger and not a hollower (or something like that). I’ve been contemplating temple filler because those areas are hollow, but it’s so expensive .🫤
I'm guessing clean lifestyle, sunscreen, good genes and still a nice amount of estrogen floating around her system. In the beginning stages of perimenopause its our progesterone that drops and this tends not to affect skin as much as loss of estrogen does.
I’ve read that for most women, the max dose should be 30mg. If you get tested and your DHEA levels continue to be low after taking 30mg, then you can increase.
