✦ Synopsis

In the steroid skeleton of the title compound, C~19~H~28~O~4~·2H~2~O, ring A assumes a slightly twisted chair conformation, ring C adopts a regular chair conformation, ring B adopts a half-chair conformation and ring D has a somewhat twisted envelope conformation. The crystal packing exhibits an extensive three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network, formed by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the steroid and water molecules.
