Difficulty Losing Weight. Taking Testosterone, Progesterone, Dhea Prescribed. Suggestions?
I just started taking testosterone and progestrine, and I am on Vivelle dot for estrogen replacement. I also was prescribed DHEA 10mg but have not started it yet. So far I am sleeping better,and no hot flashes, but still seem like I am having a hard time losing weight. Do you think the DHEA will help, or make it worse. I have read it can cause weight gain.

Hi, You are using testosteron, progestrteron, and vivelle dot for oestrogen replacement. also advised DHEA.
You are comfertable with them. you want to loose weight. Besides medicines, i advise you to avoid fatty foods, oily foods, fries, and minimise the nonvegetarian foods.
Minimise the sleeping hours, at least by one hour a day.
Thank you.
