[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 175816, member: 38109"] There are various possibilities. Some guys have success with pregnenolone, getting sufficient conversion to progesterone to solve this problem. I didn't test progesterone when I was supplementing, but side effects ruled out this option for me anyway. You look younger, so hCG might work for you. There's actually published research showing that hCG administration raises progesterone in younger men, but not older men. HCG never raised my progesterone. Finally there's direct supplementation. In theory progesterone can be taken orally, applied topically, or injected directly. There are some oddities with the first two options—alternate metabolites and heterogenous concentrations respectively, so I use the latter, direct injections. It's definitely safer to test your levels when supplementing; high levels have the potential to be worse than low levels. Dosing ideas here: [URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/could-the-ratio-of-progesterone-to-estradiol-affect-water-retention-in-men-on-trt.19131/post-155087"]Could the ratio of progesterone to estradiol affect water retention in men on TRT?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
