Providing this anecdotal experience as a male running high dose progesterone, as there doesn't seem to be much out there. Currently 7½ weeks in. Everything topical except the exemestane. Getting blood drawn today.
I started 3x a day with:
5 drops Cortinon+ (sfa/ethanol)
2 drops of Progestene
And also varying combinations of the following 3x a day:
4-5mg Androsterone
2mg 11-keto-DHT
~3-4mg Exemestane
After 4½ weeks I switched the aromatizable base to:
4-5 drops of Pansterone (sfa/ethanol)
20-25 drops Progestene
And so dialing back from ~840-889mg P4/week to ~735-770.
Some drops of Pansterone applied to the shaft and some to navel.
Total DHEA dosage I began to dial back from 15mg/day to ~12-13mg after starting to notice what seemed like peak saturation. I'm using cypro and metergoline sparingly for general prolactin control.
I may continue lowering DHEA and try adding in T3 again -- for the first ~10 days I had been running T3 daytime with T3/T4 pre-bed but was overheating pretty easily in the day. I Stopped the T3 and just take a drop or two of tyromix pre bed with my nightly milk+syrup.
My reasons for beginning this experiment:
-I've been struggling with chronic back pain for close to 6 years now (my neck broke someone's 20' fall). Finally got an MRI 2 weeks ago which confirmed C3-C4 bone spurs and pinched nerve, and C5-C6 bone spurs.
-Work, personal, and financial stress coupled with long gloomy winters.
-I did all of the wrong things through adolescence and early 20s up until beginning a Peated diet a few years ago.
I decided It was time to introduce an edge, if for none other than for my own alchemical peace of mind.
I've noticed:
Joints fortifying
Muscles growing faster than baseline
That distinct progesterone underlying aura of neuroprotective-anticatabolic anesthesia helping with everything from the acute pain of a deep tissue massage to the HPA agony of life stress
The balls have remained very plump throughout, only staggering after the 5th week where I had drank 1500mg Tulsi/Holy Basil tea for 7 days and then stopped, I did notice extreme strength, endurance, focus, and recovery from adding in Holy Basil, but I'm preferring to minimize suppression.
I will post bloods once they become available. I didn't do baseline bloods, but assume but I assume my T/P4/DHT were all relatively high from years of Peating, with the pinched nerve being my greatest drawback.
Ideally, I wish to avoid HCG. The current plan is to taper off during the last 2 weeks, take a week or three off, and use a light mix of tribulus, cistanche, and possibly fadogia for 2-4 weeks to kick everything back into action. Other recommendations are welcomed.
