Anyone taking DHEA alongside their prescribed body identical HRT please?

I'm on Evorel Conti and learnt today from a friend that DHEA may benefit me.

I don't think it's licenced or regulated in the UK

See the section on compounded hormones on this fact sheet:

balance-menopause.com/menop...

I think people take it because it's a precursor to testosterone? Have you explored getting testosterone prescribed? It's available on the NHS (maybe with some difficulty depending on where you live). It is prescribed for lack of libido, I've found it very beneficial.

DHEA is a food supplement so it's available "over the counter"/websites. I was on Tostran for over 1 year and not sure if it helped as GP never tested my test levels again. It's like getting blood out of a stone asking for tests nowadays. In fact the first test I paid for privately. It's not for the test level that I wish to take DHEA. A friend on here said it helps with adrenal insufficiency - I suffer hypothyroidism and the menopause so she thinks DHEA will help with both. I don't have an issue with libido but overall wellbeing which all hormones help with.
