I've been taking topical pregnenolone and DHEA (Pansterone) dissolved in DMSO applied ot the testes (6 mg each daily), with good results.
I've just recently been taking progesterone dissolved in DMSO (Progestene) applied to the testes (2-5 mg daily) also with good results; it makes for a useful sleep aid.
I was doing the progesterone for about a week, and because it's cold I added in thyroid (TyroMix's T3:T4 ratio of 1:2). After application to the testes:
- 2 days 1 mcg T3, 2 mcg T4
- 2 days 3 mcg T3, 6 mcg T4
- 1 day 5 mcg T3, 10 mcg T4
I'm getting pronounced estrogen symptoms; it could also be to intestinal inflammation due to the cold. This includes itchy nipples, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia, and a tendency toward migraine.
Progesterone helps alleviate the symptoms, as does bag breathing, but it came very sudden toward the end of the day with hypertension and tachycardia. I'm wondering if this is just a side effect of thyroid, or maybe the T4, or maybe even just the testicular application, which raised testosterone to aromatize into estrogen.
The estrogen flare-up coincided with a period of hyperthyroidism (too much T3 on my part, foolishly.) My heart rate was 103 with 147/60 blood pressure. I'd think this would have caused the estrogen increase in response.
Any thoughts?
