Dhea with HRT ?

Hello everyone. I am 38 with premature ovarian failure since 5 years. I m on oestrogen patch and micronised progesterone. I want to give Dhea a go but l m scared if it raises my estrogen levels more than l need. Did anyone take Hrt with Dhea together? Because of premature ovarian failure, l am supposing that l am also low on testesterone bur of course l am not sure. Going to hospital for blood test for it is a little hard at the moment due to the pandemic for me. Thank you.

I wouldn't take it unless you've got confirmed low testosterone levels - just assuming isn't good enough. There is a reason why DHEA isn't available here without a prescription and has to be imported from America. Or can actually reduce your fertility if you take it without needing to not to mention all the other nasty side effects
