Hey there. 26 year old male with low progesterone 23 pg/ml reference 12-100. I started using progesterone cream because I read it helps with adrenal fatigue and it helps reduce stress.
I used 20 mg of a trans dermal cream and I felt a very calming affect but I feel really tired on the cream and can't get my words right, can't think (foggy) and have no sexual interest. Even having a basic conversation is tiresome. With regards to cortisol levels they are low in the morning and normal/high throughout the day especially at night.
The fact progesterone lowers cortisol, is this the reason I am so tired? Could it be my body has been so stressed that now that I am finally getting the rest I need? Also I am craving salt how much would I need to replace my body with? I heard it accelerates sodium secretion
I will lower the dose to 5mg-10mg
-Feel tired/exausted
-Feel that its because its lowering cortisol alot
-Have no sex interest
-Have no desire to carry out a convo, hard finding the right words, diminished eye contact with gf
TSH is 1.0, testosterone is normal/high, estrogen was low normal not sure what the number was but It was 18 i believe
