Androsterone cured my fiancé’s severe dysmenorrhea
-
Fiancé typically experiences terrible cramps and pain far beyond what is normal. On a whim I decided to try administering 1mg androsterone to her (navel route) nightly throughout her cycle. This is following a post from @haidut claiming that <15mg of DHT is not virilizing for women.
This seems to have been a success, as she has now had a normal period without severe pain.
Previous to this, (about 3 cycles before) we began to try limiting her PUFA intake more severely and increasing sat fat intake, while also administering Progest-E. I’m sure has also helped, but it wasn’t until the inclusion of androsterone that she achieved seeming total remission of symptoms.
There have been no virilizing effects to speak of.
I suspect the andro has achieved this either by improving her liver function (and clearance of estrogens) and/or has simply lowered estrogen enough on its own. Either way, this is a pretty huge win for us and I thought would be worth sharing for anyone else who suffers from this.

Thanks for sharing, my gf has similar problems, trying progesterone rn with good success, might try this too though.
