    BP and Progesterone Issue

    i am having an increase in BP and increase in progesterone that i'm trying to lower. My cycle started with 100mg/wk of test e, 300mg/wk tren e, 200mg Mast E and 2IU of HGH 5 on 2 off. wanted to try the low test/high tren combo and how my body reacts to it. within two weeks my BP went sky high to 182. did blood work and my e2 was 250 (11-44) , progesterone 0.4 (<0.1-0.2), prolactin 0.6 (3.5-11). I was using Letro as an AI and 0.5mg of caber 2x/wk. So I Stopped the HGH and tren and bp went down to 152-160, which is still high. Doc prescribed me BP meds and they barely do much (temp usage until i get this issue resolved). Increased the letro for a few days then ran aromasin for 3 wks. Now i checked my E2 twice already after the incident and now its in range 10 (11-44), prolcatin is still low BUT progesterone is still out of range 0.3 (<0.1-0.2). My eyes got swell during my last cycle when i was trying Deca and im going through the same issue (eyes becoming swell because of increased bp), so i am sure the issue is from increased progesterone, but it doesnt want to go lower than 0.3 since the last 6 wks. currently i'm doing 250mg test e/wk and 12.5mg ED of Aromsin and my bp is still in 150-160 range. I did a long research on how to lower progesterone and it seems there are drugs out there that people didnt comment or try yet. I'm even taking 1000mg of vit c, B complex, Niacin, fish oil, UDCA, Mult Vit, amino acids and whey protein shakes.

    As an extra note: Did Liver function test, lipid profile test and all were good.

    how can i lower my Progesterone? cause i'm sure its the cause of my increased bp?!

    Progesterone follows estrogen and now that your E is down your progesterone should eventually follow, and with that your BP. Patience is what I'd suggest. In the mean time try arginine for your BP.

    thats something i know, but confusing in my case!
    did two blood tests already which were done 6 wks apart and e2 was low (almost crushed) and progesterone was high in both cases. i did a DHT test too when the problem accured and DHT was >2500 (650-990). i never read some where that DHT can cause BP elevation, but is it possible?

    Doc already got prescribed for Micardis (bp meds) and currently i'm on my 3rd wk taking 80mg per day. i see a slight drop. Last wk i was see-ing 170-182 sys 115-118 dia and now i see 158-170 sys 95-110 dia. should i increase the dose? i'm worried cause happened to me before and it was under control once i increased my AI dose, but now its taking longer and bp readings are dangerous!

    i stopped all injs 2wks now and getting ready for pct as i dont think its safe to continue the cycle. does hcg convert to progesterone? should i do an RBC test? maybe its time for a blood donation? i NEVER donated blood in my life!
