DHEA Stopped my periods

A couple of months ago my consultant recommended I take DHEA as I was diagnosed with DOR. I gained some advice from some lovely people about checking DHEA and my testosterone levels. Both came back in the high normal range for my age. I took a small dose of DHEA (10mg) for a couple of weeks but really struggled with it, so stopped taking the DHEA. Now my periods have stopped and I’m worried. I took a test and am not pregnant. Has anyone else experienced this and/or have any advice?

Hi Shauna. I have heard of this happening. However, it might be an idea to speak to your GP and ask him/her to check out your hormones with a blood test. Good luck! Diane
