Elevated progesterone

[ivkonst2017]

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 0,05 - 0,15 ECLIA
17-ОН-Progesterone S 1.367 ng/ml 0,20 - 2,30 ELISA

This was 3 months after starting TRT:
Progesteron S 0.17 ng/ml 0.05 - 0.15 ECLIA


This was last December, a year after starting TRT:
Progesteron S 0.31 ng/ml 0.05 - 0.15 ECLIA

Im using 700 ui HCG weekly since Im on TRT, no pregnenolone, no DHEA but as you can see my levels were high even before TRT! What could have caused that?

Also what are the symptoms of elevated progesterone in men? Are there any health risks associated?

well what kind of symptoms are you experiencing?

My levels have always been ~1.5 ng/ml and I think it is the reason that TRT has not improved my libido.

Hcg can really raise progesterone in some men. Those men likely will not benefit from
Progesterone, and also may not benefit from even pregnenolone. I’m curious what your e2 is with this high progesterone level. I have high progesterone naturally and also high dht. This has my e2 low.

The only thing that helps my libido and it is substantial, doxazosin with cialis and drinking a beer every two hours. This had me jerk off 11 times yesterday. I usually have to force myself to think about sex because my desire is usually just absent.
