Does pregnenolone cause weight gain?

I am quite new to hormone therapy and my doctor just mentioned this supplement to me. Does the weight gain happen immediately, or does it depend on the dosage we take? I would love to hear from anyone who has used it.

I've been reading up on hormonal supplements and I am so scared of starting them because of potential weight gain. It seems like even a small imbalance can mess up our metabolism. Did anyone else actually gain weight after starting pregnenolone?

My family always says to avoid synthetic hormones unless absolutely necessary. However, if your doctor has specifically prescribed pregnenolone for a deficiency, it is best to trust their medical advice. They can help monitor your weight and hormone levels closely.

Hormone level tests can be quite expensive, but it's better to invest in proper blood panels before starting any supplement. This ensures you only take what you need and don't end up spending more money correcting side effects like weight gain later.

Yes, hormone supplements can sometimes cause bloating and fluid retention, which feels like sudden weight gain. I had a similar issue with hormone balancing pills. Focus on drinking lots of water and eating clean while your body adjusts.

Instead of starting supplements directly, try incorporating hormone-balancing foods like healthy fats, seeds, and leafy greens. If you must take pregnenolone, please do so under strict medical supervision to avoid metabolic side effects.
