This thought just occurred to me. Is it better for women to take pregnenolone the days when estrogen is at its lowest level?

j. said:Probably an experienced female would be a better source of advice than myself. That said, there are instructions to use progesterone online, maybe somebody else knows the link. Regarding pregnenolone, I would rather use too much than too little, so I would use hundreds of milligrams (100 mg, or 200 mg, or 300 mg) daily.

Regarding the other stress hormones, progesterone I think is antogonist to many of them, and pregnenolone and thyroid maybe to all of them.

Well, that's mainly because otherwise I would've been dead at a young age, I believe. I started avoiding PUFA April 2012 and then incorporated more features over time. So almost two years.
I'm not sure that it's good to start at a lower dose. Progesterone in some people creates problems at low doses. I think what happens is that progesterone makes you more sensitive to estrogen. And if you take too little progesterone, it might be enough to make you more sensitive to estrogen but not enough to antagonize it.
Since pregnenolone is a precursor of progesterone, it could have the same effect. It could increase progesterone enough to increase sensitivity to estrogen, meaning that estrogen has a stronger effect, but not enough to antagonize it.
Peat says 100 mg is a good starting dose, and that some people need as much as 1 gram to have a positive effect.
