Ah, interesting. I think that shows how it's really hit and miss, in how progesterone will effect each person. Haidut mentions the potential for progesterone to increase DHT and testosterone; yet as you're mentioning, you're needing too supplement with DHT.
For reference, here's his comment: "Progesterone stimulates the steroid cascade and DHEA will convert further down the pathways. Since progesterone will block/inhibit the estrogen pathways, most of the DHEA will end up as T and DHT".
As Haidut also mentions, maybe it's a dose dependent thing as well...he notes some pretty high doses: "One study showed 30% boost in T in men with low testosterone after taking 200mg micronized progesterone orally for a month. I also posted an animal study showing increases in both T and DHT from human equivalent oral dose of 600mg."
My initial interest in progesterone was to counter hairloss, but since reading that thread by Haidut, about it being androgenic, I was thinking I could kill two birds with one stone: hairloss and raise DHT/Testosterone. If you don't mind sharing, are these your reasons as well?
how are people doing 100mg of progesterone ??
20 drops of progest e ?
a capsule ?? what one ? i have never seen progesterone capsules
