During my recovery phase my progesterone was well over the range. it was like 5 on a scale where it should have been under 3. That blood was taken when i was on 20mg nolva.

5 weeks later off nolva and progesterone was back to 2. I know ur not on nolva, but i dunno, thought i'd mention it.

With test levels as high as yours your estrogen is probably high which will kill your sex drive (ime). Have it checked and get it into the optimal range and it should help a bit.

I did not realised that high progesterone is such a bad actor.
My progesterone=1.4(0.3-1.2) LabCorp

What supplements are causing rise of progesterone?
I am taking so many of them, often I am not sure of what they do.

Ask her to rub it for you. Thats life. In my case it depends, sometimes it raises on its own other times needs help.
My problem is that I cannot get more than 3 orgasms per week. I got a boner, but I cannot reach the end.

Only recently I got suspicious about my Progesterone=1.4 (0.3-1.2)ng/mL
I am not sure how to make it lower.
================
Scratch above.
Reading from Life Extension Revolution by Philip Miller MD, (supported by Lie Extention Foundation).

Target Progesterone 1500-2500 pg/mL or (1.5-2.5)ng/mL
That would make my levels still not high enough.
He also says that desirable
Progesterone/estrogen ratio (15-20)
I am not sure if he is saying E2 or total estrogen.

whats the highest dose of armour youve ever had somebody on? i hear for some it takes up to like 10 grains.
im just curious, not that im addressing my thyrod and adrenals with isocort, im wondering how to lower progesterone. its the only thign outta wack and its ruining my sex life.

As far as I know, there is no direct substance to reduce progesterone production.

Norepinephrine is the signal for the presence of stress. ACTH is produced in response to norepinephrine. ACTH from the brain triggers the production of all the steroid hormones from the adrenal glands including progesterone. However, only cortisol gives negative feedback to the brain. High progesterone usually indicates high stress.

Progesterone is an anti-stress hormone. It has protective effects on the brain. It improves the speed of nerve signal conduction. It has calming and antidepressant effects. It promotes nurturing behaviors. It is a mild diuretic, helping reduce fluid build-up. It blocks estradiol's inhibiting effects on thyroid hormone. It helps reduce blood pressure. One needs adequate progesterone for sexual function.

Reducing stress can lead to reduced progesterone production.
Adrenal fatigue from excessive stress can lead to reduced progesterone production.

High progesterone may be a sign of high stress level.

It is the high stress level that impairs sexual function, not progesterone (particularly at levels below about 2.5 ng/ml in men)

The highest dose for Armour Thyroid is 5 grains or 300 mg a day. If a person has heart disease, one has to be very careful about any dose above 120 mg a day.

marianco, can an anti estrogen like aromasin lower sex drive? my estrogens perfect and my test is high when im using 150 mg of test a week, its always over the labs and my free is always way over too. so would lowering the test dose and cutting out the anti estrogen be beneficial?
