Senior Member (**Dr Smith is named after a character from Lost in Space, not a medical doctor)

I've been reading up on the title subject (there's a lot out there) but I've encountered a conundrum. In (at least) one article I find the following daily dosage recommendations for various precursor hormones:
Precursor_____________________Daily Dosage Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 50 to 100mg Pregnenolone _________________50 to 100mg Androstenedione_______________50 to 100mg Medroxyprogesterone___________10 to 20mg Note: Intermittent, rather than daily, administration is recommended. Can anyone tell me, or direct me to, what is meant by "Intermittent, rather than daily, administration"? Every other day? Every other week? Every other month? What? I'm assuming the intermittancy is to avoid pituitary supression. Thanks.
