Sara - I have read the DHEA can cause oily skin and even temporary hair-thinning, but that fortunately did not happen in my case. I was only on it for just over two months so maybe things like this may have happened over time. The Pregnyl (HCG) makes your body think it is pregnant, so it increases your progesterone levels (luteal phase support). You may know people take prog. pessaries or crinone for the same reason. Anyway, this is definitely what caused a bit of an increase in hair growth (faster under the armpits, the odd surprise on my face ). It is the same hormone which causes the odd pimple before AF each month. You may already know this, but just wanted to clarify Glad you have moved your BT to Wednesday. I would rather know sooner and with the support of my partner, too. Good luck

Buliej - sounds like you are having a good strong reaction to the DHEA I am glad you are giving it a go as like Sara, according to my (limited) reading you are the perfect candidate for it. I really hope it brings you success

Kel - hope things are looking brighter for you today? xx
