Hi all,
I plan to start taking low dose Progest E
I have PFS
18 months ago I crashed on Tribulus.
Initially got high cortisol & high estrogen sides from Tribulus
Then 10 weeks later after crash, I started to lose muscle mass, started to notice my facial hair slow down quite abit, my shin bone, forearm and finger bones thin, my chest nipple puffiness from my gyno no longer improves when taking vitamin e as it used to and I have aged alot quicker in the last eighteen months.
Last week my Endo told me my progesterone blood level was undetectable in my recent blood tests and I believe that is the reason for my above symptoms.
My 24 hour Saliva test from last year showed low cortisol levels morning, noon and early evening.
I plan to take dose 3mg Projest E and hope this will improve above symptoms and maybe give my adrenals rest to produce more cortisol to fight some food sensitivities I have recently developed.
Do I need to cycle Progest and is it difficult to taper off eventually?
Some of my other recent results below
