I see no point in pregnenolone, as it has to be converted into progesterone, but it is converted into DHEA too, which no woman needs more of. See here and here. The Steroidogenic Pathways explains in detail.

Thank you for your reply. I'm a man, so same thoughts? Is there more of a chance of DHEA turning into estrogen?

Pregnenalone Not Needed by: Susan in Oakville
When adrenal fatigue is present, and cortisol is low in the body...supplemental Pregnenalone will convert to cortisol production NOT progesterone in the body. So you would end up with no improvement in progesterone levels. This is called the pregnenalone steal!

Preglenelone steal by: Stef
This is what’s happening to me I believe! I have adrenal fatigue and lots of estrogen dominance. I feel a anxious while on 200mg cream. I am afraid to up my dose to find relief because I’m afraid it will make more cortisol. What do I do should I stop progesteone. I know I’m low I’m progestrone and also have high estrone levels and will benefit from the cream but I’m having anxiety and also insomnia at times on it! I’m desperate for any help thank you!
