Im amazed that no one has ever tried pregnenolone for HRT reasons?!
Obviously, I have done loads and loads of research and started on a very low dose and increased very slowly.
After 6 weeks - no flushes, less aches and pains, clearer mind, increased motivation, more concentration, more energy and the only thing that has actually worked for my arid lady garden

I have also added progesterone - what a rebel eh?!

Everyone is different and NO ONE on this forum is an expert on menopause/HRT, and everyone must do their own research if they use this 'product', which is a naturally occuring hormone. But if we are going to move forward in this area we have to try new things.
Pregnenolone, is a precursor hormone and produces oestrogen, progesterone, testesterone, DHEA etc. It is said it will make what the body needs, unlike DHEA which I probably would never take.
Sub lingual or micronized tablets are the best. Normal tablets dont seem to have an effect and transdermal are too weak.
I hope this helps some of you. Conventional HRT (and I swapped around many times) didnt help me, nor did any herbal remedies.
