progesterone

Long story short, around 10 years ago I took a supplement called 7-keto dhea which gave me panic attacks, and I have had issues ever since. This was the only test I could find that tested for that hormone metabolite. Although I'm a lot better than I was 10 years ago I'm still suffering from the...

@Cataceous @Gman86 @JA Battle I would like to know your opinion on this I noticed that when I was on the 1,5mg or even worse at 2.5mg dose of Progesterone SC, I would experience some side effects such as being emotional, and way too much on the 2.5mg, and also more body hair growth, crazy...

Hi. I would appreciate any analysis of my blood tests. Background: - 34yo male (5ft9 & 132lbs /180cm & 60kg) - never been a vegetarian. I eat mostly animal food, no sugar, no gluten. Severe chronic illness since 2013: - extreme tissue fatigue/weakness - super-easily injured - unable to heal...

Im wondering if all subQ injection site yield to same absorption/levels of injectable medication. I would guess yes, but especially curios to hear anecdotes Im about to start Progesterone subQ but didn’t have good luck with testosterone SubQ, I was injecting on the upper outer part of the...

Hello everyone- according to recent blood work I have low pregnenolone levels despite taking the expensive brand of PURE Encapsulations off of amazon ($0.30+/per dose). After taking 60mg for about a month I went from undetectable to still low levels of pregnenolone . I also had my DHEA levels...

Hi Guys, Progest-E was formulated by Ray Peat, it is combined with Vitamin E, and should by pass the first pass in the liver. I'm wondering if anyone has tried this before. To my knowledge this is the only oral Progesterone product that skip that first pass in the liver Dr. Peat's Progest E...

What are most guys using to raise progesterone these days. Or is it not really worth worrying about. Below is my recent Dutch test results. I tried a Nootropics Depot 5mg sublingual tab for the last week but can barely tolerate even 2.5mg per day. Makes me feel on edge and seems to make me talk...

Hi guys, Looking for some advice following some recent blood work I’ve had. I’ve been suffering with erecitle dysfunction for a very long time now. Pretty much since I was sexually active in my early 20s which makes me believe I have some fairly major hypogonadism. I never could really...

Hi Gents, Have been a long time reader of the forum but this is my first post and just hoping to get some insight and advice around Progesterone supplementation. It has only been fairly recently I decided to investigate and look into the possible other missing parts of my TRT protocol. I was...

That is the bold claim made by this user on Reddit: What do you guys think? Is this why most men on TRT are doing well without supplementing the upstream hormones?

Curios to know if anyone has noticed some differences between the two. My Progesterone increases more with IR compared with SR, .4/.5 compared to .7/.8.

I ask because I got labs back today showing my progesterone actually went down from.5 to .3 from my last test a year ago. I’m reading conflicting information on this and on the material that Progestelle provided it states that “Progesterone will not show up on serum testing, only saliva testing”...

Hi Guys, I’ve been on TRT for a while now and take the following meds regularly. Current meds I’m on: Test Cyp - 0.3ml x 2 times a week 200 mg/ml (so thats 60mg twice a week) Anastrozole - 0.5mg x 2 times a week I’ve noticed that I have been lacking in sexual desire most of the time. I can...

Hello, for the past 2 weeks I’ve been using progesterone cream, one pump scrotal application per day. Over this weekend I started to notice my joints were achy, felt sort of dry, popping a bit. I’ve actually been feeling pretty good (libido and mentally) but thinking I may have overdone it with...

Sorry, I know there are a ton of other threads on progesterone, but seems like a lot of them get derailed and you have to filter through like 12 pages of comments and studies people posted. I just want to know straight up, what has been your experience with progesterone? For me, I’m on day 5...

Hi All, this is my second post here and it is going to be a long one so please bear with me. I am amazed at the quality and depth of information available here, and grateful for the advice and help that experienced men on TRT provide here. Bloodwork : (After 3 months on TRT) Total...

Does anyone know whether exogenous progesterone increases or decreases fertility in males?

What's your dose?

Does taking exogenous bio-identical progesterone hurt or help fertility? As far as I know, exogenous progesterone improves fertility in women. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If this is true in women, I would assume it would improve fertility in men as well. On the other hand, progestins...

I’m curious what this test can pick up on to skew the result? For example the e2 standard assay picks up on crp and inflates the reading.

Abstract The most recent studies of progesterone research provide remarkable insights into the physiological role and clinical importance of this hormone. Although the name progesterone itself means “promoting gestation”, this steroid hormone is far more than a gestational agent. Progesterone...

What would be a starting dose for Progesterone Cream to resolve a deficiency?

I need advice. My case is not straightforward. I am not expecting black and white answers but I would greatly appreciate any educated thoughts and suggestions. I have been trying to figure this out since April 2021. Background: 8 plus years postmenopausal intact female. Started HRT in December...

I’ve heard and read that nandrolone acts on the progesterone receptor. I’m wondering if this activation replaces taking exogenous progesterone at all, even if nandrolone won’t increase progesterone in the serum.

Does exogenous progesterone lower prolactin levels?

Hello, has anyone ever used Pregnenolone with a too high dose and had side effects which could stem from high progesterone? If yes, and you stopped using it, how long till you felt better? Is there a way to lower Progesterone,. as I believe it either lowers my e2 or blocks it from binding to...

Hey everyone, here are some recent lab results using 24mg eod test cyp sub-q/shallow IM for about 6-8 weeks. I feel much more relaxed and anxiety is lower, blood pressure is lower than 50mg twice per week. The problem now is my memory and brain function are quite low. I'm sleeping great...

I'm struggling to dial in my protocol completely over a year now. I was wondering whether the all-time elevated progesteron I have may be causing me some issues? This was my progesterone before starting TRT, at that point I have never injected any hormones or steroids: Progesteron S 0.2 ng/ml...

https://hardingmedicalinstitute.com/progesterone-for-men-the-feel-good-hormone/ https://www.tamparejuvenation.com/healthtips/why-we-need-progesterone/ Was just doing some research on progesterone. Has anyone had it tested and corrected a deficiency? Anyone noticed an improvement in symptoms...

I don't think this has ever been discussed, but it might be important for those of us that often wake up from sleep. Oral contraceptive contain estrogen and progestin, (progestin is an analog of progesterone) which have been shown to increase the elimination half life of caffeine from 5-6 hours...

is there any difference for Pregnenolone bypassing the liver on downstream metabolites? is there less conversion to Progesterone? I heard once Dr John Crisler, mentioning how oral pregnenolone may be better for people with anxiety, because it gets converted more into allopregnenolone with the...
