About 3 months ago I was experimenting with letrozole to lower my estrogen levels. Let me just say it's a very harsh drug and I had some unpleasant side effects and it will nuke your estrogen levels beyond all reason so it's not really a good tool for precise hormone control.
HOWEVER. For about 2 days while I was taking letrozole, I took pregnenolone in the evening just before bedtime.
The next day when I went out for my usual walk, I ended up doing sprints and interval training instead of walking, because I had so much excess energy that walking felt like "grandpa sports" to me.
Years ago, I used to be that energetic all the time. But the last 5 years, my legs feel so heavy, and I am so fatigued, that the thought of running just makes me nauseous, and I feel like my legs are two lead bags that I have to drag behind me instead of body parts which are actually helping me to get somewhere. And I am only 25.
How did pregnenolone and letrozole enable me to run again? Taking pregnenolone on its own DOES NOT do this sadly, I assume because it all normally goes into estrogen. I suppose when taking letrozole concurrently it cannot go into estrogen and ends up being converted into androgens like T & DHT which is what gave me the energy.
Is there a way to supplement pregnenolone and ensure it goes into androgens? First time seeing light at the end of the tunnel and I want out of zombie mode. Haven't felt that kind of energy in years!
