"DHEA can be converted into both estrogen and testosterone, which are beneficial for bone health. One would hope that you are benefiting from your DHEA for osteopenia. Have you had your blood levels tested? Not many doctors conduct a sex hormone-binding globulin test, but this will determine how much free testosterone is actually available for your body to use."

Thank you for your response. I have not yet had my blood tested. I will look into it and post my findings.

The doctor I am seeing is a specialist for hormone therapy specifically for the pellet therapy. I have had my blood test but do not have the results back yet and I’m starting the DHEA insert for the vaginal atrophy. Hopefully it will help without horrible side effects. This is all new to me. I don’t take any medications of any sort (Except on occasion an antibiotic to get rid of a sinus infection) And prefer to go the natural route as I have been doing for other issues. I am afraid of taking any drugs on a permanent ongoing basis.So I am continuing my investigation before attempting testosterone pellet therapy. And yes, DHEA insert is very expensive. So I’m hoping that the DHEA will resolve my vaginal issue within a short time before I find a permanent solution to manage it.
