[QUOTE="Aleeri, post: 44420, member: 13204"] I have a question, I recently tested low on Progesterone and Cortisol and I started progesterone cream in 10mg a day before bed to get these up. These are results before progesterone supplementation: Cortisol (Serum) [b] 6.6 ug/dL [/b](10:18am) - Ref: 6.24-18 ug/dL Progesterone [b]0.19 ng/mL[/b] - Ref: 0.3 ng/mL (Men age 18-29) It improved issues with anxiety and helped me sleep a lot better. But now after 1 month I have retested E2 and it shows up as very low. E2: [b]< 10 pg/mL[/b] (before: 25) I think I overdid the progesterone because my E2 doesn’t show up on the normal test (this is not sensitive test). I think I screwed my E2 test up also because I took progesterone before bed day before test in morning. I also took more then usual because leak from bottle. However I do not feel much symptoms of low E and I have felt ok. I had low E from AI use before and this is not same feeling. Obviously I am stopping progesterone now. [b]Anyone know if Progesterone cream 8-12 hours before E2 test can scew the test results lowering E2 to much? [/b] [/QUOTE]
