Males That Have Used Progesterone For Sleep With Success (Poll)

[Inaut]

I’d say my pains range from a dull ache to a burning feeling, something comparable to heart burn but on my right side just behind rib cage. I also get a dull ache between my shoulder blades.

I notice it when I eat black pepper and fatty foods most often. Two days of vitamin c and spasms are much better already @Vinny

For me, the answer is technically yes but only a few mgs of Idealabs Progestene causes my junk to shrink. I've found 1-3mgs of androsterone to help just as much with sleep with even more benefits. It's too bad too, because I was hoping the progesterone would help with my sleep apnea.

@Hans Can you make the results visible by default, or have a"not applicable" option? Right now, results are only visible to those who answer. I have no experience with progesterone, but I'm curious about others' experiences.

I'm sorry I can't change it. Maybe @charlie could be of assistance.

Thanks. Have you tried the prog with the andro as well?

 

[Hans]

I use Progest-E and don't notice any effects on my sleep. I'd like to think it's improving sleep quality, but don't have any evidence of that.

How much were you using?

Its best feature is its highly reliable effect on blood flow like the other guy said

What effect does the progesterone have on blood flow?

 

[vulture]

I'd like to hear your experiences on this subject. Also, let me know what doses were effective for you.
If it didn't work for you, what did you find to work?

I used prometrium topically in wrists. Around 50 mg usually gets the feeling that something is happening. Anyway, if I go too far on the dose I usually woke up with a slight headache, as well if I toke it in the day, by the afternoon it gave me a slight headache. If I got the sweet spot I would feel more relaxed, chilled out, extra yawning, not necessarily lethargic but not so worried or anxious

Done.

Cool. Did you use it alone?

Done.

Thanks Charlie.

 

[Braveheart]

Forgot to mention, I also take one drop Andro.

 

[LuMonty]

Thanks. Have you tried the prog with the andro as well?

Yes, but even 1mg of each together made me foggy-headed. I've never really gotten prog to work for me.

 

[Tenacity]

How much were you using?

Between 15-30 milligrams depending on whether or not I remember to take it during the day. I always take it before bed.

What effect does the progesterone have on blood flow?

Progesterone increases nitric oxide synthesis in human vascular endothelial cells through activation of membrane progesterone receptor-α | American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism
The Influence of Progesterone on Endometrial Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression
It's unmistakable to me, in the limbs especially where my flow is poorer than average (to my knowledge not caused by my thyroid)

Thanks. Perhaps not suitable for POTS that gets worse with vasodialation.

 

[mangoes]

I suffer insomnia a lot, it worked like a charm making me drowsy and fall asleep on the first few times I took it, but the effect waned. Maybe it was a dosage thing but I’m wary of taking big doses of it tbh

 

[Kunstruct]

Yes, but even 1mg of each together made me foggy-headed. I've never really gotten prog to work for me.

Androsterone can me make me foggy or light headed without any progesterone, especially if coupled with other GABA stuff like pregnenolone, niacinamide, etc

I was just exchanging messages with a woman on Facebook that said progesterone was making her POTS worse. She told me that progestins worked better for her. Maybe there's some truth in it, but I still think progesterone is doing good things in the background, hopefully preventing further degeneration.

That's interesting. I think progestins are frowned upon here but I don't know why. Perhaps they are doing something else.

For me Prog works ok for sleep. But everytime I used it I got herpes shingles. The (Th1) Immunesuppression from Prog seems to force an outbreak in my case.

@Fexxx How much do you guys usually take?
