Progesterone

[Enden]

I've heard that elevated progesterone level might cause some sexual related problems in men. Anyone know the normal range for men? My blood test revealed 6.8, I think it's nmol/L. The bio chemist said they didn't have a range for men, because it wasn't relevant.

Wow so if it was 100 it isnt relevant? ,,,, I suppose a "range is relevent" but knowing what it is is def relevant.. Your level is about the same as mine...

I think a range is relevant too, but maybe progesterone isn't something to be concerned about. Maybe it's just secreted in small amounts, and not affected by other hormones, like testosterone , estrogen and prolactin for instance.

Enden, that's what my primary doc said one time about E2 ... She just flat out said no need to check it, "UNLESS" (She said) "You start to see puffy nipples." That's how these docs are, they're reactive, not proactive.

Are your other scores looking good? I've got the exact opposite problem on the progest ... Mine is in the dumps at 0.2.

the range in an adult male is from 0,1 to 2 ng/ml

It's really a shame how some doctors can be. The first Dr. I approached about the possibility of having Low T straight up laughed at me and said there was nothing wrong with me. She told my I just needed to loose weight. That was almost 4 years ago; back when I *had* insurance. I could have got all the tests and scripts I needed without worrying about cost; not to mention a 3 less years of suffering.

As for the puffy nips, it's amazing; in my late-teens and early twenties, I had t-shirts that I had literally worn holes in the chest from constantly scratching my nipples. They were always puffy and I was self conscience of it all the time; scratching them made them harden up. What's the old saying, "I wish I knew then what I know now..."?

Anyhow...

My apologies for getting off topic however, since we're on the subject of low and high Progesterone, what are the general symptoms of each? I hadn't really thought about it before however, I'm learning daily about things that obviously matter and perhaps it would be safe to be aware.

No it's pretty messed up at the moment; My blood test result, shit.
but I'm in control. I'm not doing any more T injections, and I'm using 0.25 mg anastrozole twice a week and currently awaiting a shipment with cabergoline. I'm going to do another test by the end of this month.

Which is what, converted to nmol/L?

Which is what, converted to nmol/L?

be my guest:

Testosterone : nmol/L x 0.29 -> ng/mL

I had the same problem with my nipps in high school. Yes if I knew then I would have taken some nolva and stopped the test conversion. That being said what are your hormone levels LH FSH PROLACTIN FREE TEST? If you are seriously overwieght your male hormone levels will be low and your female levels will be high.

fact or possibility?

It's defiantly a possibility. One contributes to the other until you get a snowball effect.

Haven't had those checked but my Estradiol was *164* when check last month however, my Total T was 1132 after a year of TRT so I'm sure that's contributed to it. [Total T was 174 when I began.] For this reason, I began Arimidex about a week ago.

What about progesterone?
