I have been on HRT for about seven years. I use 20-25mg cypionate intramuscular every day (140mg/wk) and it keeps my total test in range but on the high-end and I use .5 mg Arimidex twice a week which keeps ultrasensitive estradiol in range. I also use 500iu hcg 2x/wk.
My DHEA was low years ago and oral and sublingual DHEA did not work so I started using life flo trans dermal DHEA 30 mg per day and now my DHEA is in range in the high end. I never bothered testing pregnenolone and progesterone but I did recently and they both were extremely low. First I tested pregnenolone and the result was
<5 range 22-237
So I started using 15 mg life flo transdermal pregnenolone and have been using that for a few months. I have not checked pregnenolone again but I recently checked my progesterone and that was <0.5 range <1.4
I’m not sure if that’s good or bad since the reference range was just < 1.4
