Does water retention from progesterone imply anti-androgenic effects?

[Judd Crane]

Or is there any other mechanism through progesterone would have this effect?

It would be strange to have water retention that lasted more than a day or two from progesterone

I'm talking water retention still after long term usage.

hmmm I find that strange. I took Progest-E for 6 months and I noticed my legs shrank. Probably excess estrogen and water. Do you track how much pufa you consume on a daily basis?

PUFA always kept pretty low. My progesterone dose isn't very high, 5mg topical. Perhaps my liver isn't detoxing the estrogen released by progesterone.

I'm not sure. Try it orally

I get the opposite effect from progesterone, it flushes all the water I hold from testosterone.

Don't think the op is using exogenous testosterone, which would negate the anti androgen effect of progesterone.

How much progesterone do you take and how long before it starts flushing the water out?

Why don't you take DHT and P4 instead of Test and P4?

Net alkaline PRAL score?

How do you know it's water retention...

 

[Matestube]

More than anti androgenic effects, progesterone has anti estrogenic effects, which would induce flushing any retained water regardless of whether or not you are on exogenous testosterone.

I don't take progesterone any more, it doesn't make me feel good.
I would take around 30mg orally.
In 24h max some water had started to go away.

DHT makes me feel dull and dry, testosterone makes me feel full and energetic.

 

[LadyRae]

Progesterone supplementation in any dose, delivery gives me water retention too.

I get what you're saying but P4 and DHT is an incredible feeling. I'm worried about too much T converting to E

I need it. Exemestane permanently lowered my estrogens.

 

[Matestube]

How much of each ?

 

[Risingfire]

I need it. Exemestane permanently lowered my estrogens.

How often did you take exemestane? I take 25 mgs once a week
