so far, the injectable Progest, that is the hormone that gave me the more sex drive, erection and libido, I think even more than Testosterone

@FunkOdyssey any updates on your injectable Progesterone trial? I had my follow up with doc last week, and we discussed my Progesterone levels coming back at .2 ng/dl on the 1.5mg Inj Progest, he mentioned how the peak could be at 1 to 2 hrs post injection, and predicted a peak level of .4/.5...

That’s could be one the reasons for sure, I could see the acne on my back clearing up nicely. I also notice my skin looking softer and maybe more moisturized, progesterone is upstream of aldosterone, or perhaps it has some mineralocorticoid properties as well, helping with cellular hydration

I see the same benefits in regards to the skin.

How long how you been on the Prog cream before testing the E2?

I would think this applies at higher supraphysiological levels/dosing

Perhaps @Cataceous can clarify this, but I believe he did start with 2.6 mg and that brought his Progesterone to .9 ng/ml, now using .6mg and Prog sits at .3 ng .ml By the way, I have been doing 2.5mg for the past two days, and it does make me feel groggy like drugged feeling similar to the...

You are right. However, I believe ACTH can also start or participate in those enzymatic processes just like LH. Perhaps HCG is needed in men on TRT to reactivate fully that pathway. I just increased my Progesterone, I will report any changes in my Testosterone if there are any

then if we see a Testosterone increase with Progesterone, it makes sense thinking that Progesterone directly converted into Testosterone. I have seen this happening to some people with oral Pregnenolone while on TRT

@Gman86 I hope you don't mind my questions. You mentioned that 2mg of the injectable Progesterone brought the level to over 1.0 ng/ml, but if I understand well you already started with a baseline of more than .1ng/ml correct? just considering the start test method, basically you were not...

we are talking about it here What has been your experience with progesterone?

possibly, I believe I have seen my FT increasing a bit while on the scrotal Prog cream, maybe just because the anti aromatizing properties of Progest

@Gman86 I’m curious to know if you have ever seen an increase in testosterone with Progesterone supplementation

@Cataceous what laboratory and test method have you used to test your Progesterone?

Perhaps, using a different test method, yields to a different ref range for the “average” male progesterone level. This is why we shouldn’t compare two different test method even if the same unit was used, like in this case the ng/ml. We probably shouldn’t even compare same test method from two...

@Gman86 I have always been using LabCorp for all my Progesterone tests for years, and I always used the same test method, which should be the Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). Range is .0ng/ml to .5ng/ml as today. Obviously here in the US There have been many men I have seen on TRT...

@Gman86 an update on the injectable Progesterone, 1.5mg daily SQ brought my Progesterone to .2 ng/ml from .1. I measured it in the am, probably about 13 hours post injection. You guys responded better with this dosage, I had same issue injecting Testosterone SubQ in the past. Something...

give it two weeks, then pull some labs as well. I could notice I believe after a week, more sex drive, better erections and libido, sleeping better and feeling calmer. I also noticed my skin cleared up a bit, especially the acne on my back. I started with 1.5 mg, I'm pulling some lab next week...

In the video it is mentioned how beef protein powders are basically gelatin powders, and if I remember correctky , I have seen someone else in the past mentioning how it is really hard to make a real protein powder from beef. Do you guys have any insides about it?

what I meant is that after 100 days my HCG was reconstituted it was still working.

For treating low Progesterone

I just tossed my pregnyl vial after 100days of 100IU daily use, I can still see my scrotum hanging low and fuller testicles

I have been doing upper outer part of buttock, I turn my upper body to the side, pinch some skin, pull a bit and inject, no issues here, and I think the Progesterone is working. I will confirm with labs in a couple of weeks

when you mean result, you mean that with a different injection site you obtained less test levels? I'm using my upper outer part of my buttox, almost around the hip area, injection is smooth over there. I do the HCG on stomach

I felt that same feel good/calming sensation that I noticed before from the scrotal cream as well, just less than the cream though. Sleep a bit deeper and my nap in the afternoon also feels more restful. I'm not sure if that's Progesterone itself or some metabolites. I'm only at day two though...

how long in between dose adjustments were you waiting to check levels? or when do you think steady level is achieved with SC Progesterone in oil? I couldn't find any data on this. I just started last night with 1.5mg, I believe I already felt it, it could be placebo thought.

Hi Vince, are you also on injectable Progesterone?

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...

I find conflicting data on the daily production of Progesterone in men. The above study shows 5 to 15mg, which seems allot to me, the study below shows 1.5 to 3mg daily https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-professions/progesterone " Hormone Replacement in Men Alicia...

@Gman86 I don't mean to be negative or anything, I just thought about you.

Thanks, if it wasn’t for you and cataceus we wouldn’t have any guidance on dosing. I believe Progesterone really balance testosterone, the more of one, will possibly require more of the other
