Ray Peat and many forum members talked about progesterone’s “cold shower effect” on men. I am wondering what it means when you get this, specifically testicular shrinkage after oral intake of progest-e. Does this indicate a high dose (for a male body) is ingested and that the dose should be reduced? Can progesterone negatively affect/harm the testicles? How much oral progest-e would be too much for men, in general? What would be a good limit in terms of dose? I experienced this shrinkage with 3 drops of oral progest-e today, even though I took 5 milligrams of dhea with it. I started progesterone (progest-e) for the first time 4 days ago, the first 2-3 days I took much higher doses, so maybe this effect is due to high levels of progesterone in the body from cumulative increase due to supplementation; but it occurs after taking the progrest-e, and goes away in a few hours after it occurs.
