Your answer seems reasonable, and I may recall reading that in the past but just forgot. May also recall that because of its effects on women being different, a higher dose of pregnenolone might reduce the need or amount of progesterone supplementally. Thanks so much for responding to my question!that's a good question tbh, i'm not sure. i know the higher the dosage the more that is supposed to be converted into allopregnenelone and progesterone. Though i imagine pregnenelone overall is less likely to go down the androgen pathway in females as it is in males but i am not sure
