[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 155047, member: 38167"] That's great to hear about your experience! What kind of cream do you use and how much of it do you use? Did you measure your levels before and after? I believe that Labcorp recently lowered their reference range (see [URL='https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/new-labs-progesterone-high.8623/#post-53267']New Labs - Progesterone high???[/URL]). Dr. Saya says "Previously the range was 0.0 - 1.2 (or 1.5ng/mL depending on lab)." RE: blood pressure, I believe blood pressure and fluid balance are connected. So if you noticed a drop in blood pressure, it's possible it's because of less sodium retention / less water retention, even if the water retention was imperceptible before. It's also possible progesterone lowers blood pressure in some other way, too - like maybe it 'relaxes' the blood vessels? I found this interesting article on blood pressure and progesterone from 2001: [URL="https://www.nyp.org/news/Researcher-Shows-Progesterone-Is-Sex-and-Blood-Pressure-Hormone"]Weill Cornell Researcher Shows How Progesterone Is Not Just Sex Hormone but Blood Pressure Hormone - NewYork-Presbyterian[/URL] [/QUOTE]
