Could the ratio of progesterone to estradiol affect water retention in men on TRT?

[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 153237, member: 38109"] Various articles do say that progesterone is important to balance against estradiol, so it seems plausible that neglecting low levels on TRT can lead to less-than-optimal results. In the little experimenting I've done with progesterone I haven't thus far observed blatant effects on water retention. With undetectable estradiol I lost several pounds of water weight. Partially restoring estradiol allowed the weight to return, and concurrent progesterone supplementation has not seemed to block that. One quibble: the units are ng/[B]mL[/B]. So the reference range is 10-120 ng/dL or 100-1200 pg/mL, [/QUOTE]
