    So lately, I've been very fascinated with Progesterone. As I was saying before, my bodyfat is NOT centralized into belly fat like most people who overeat/don't exercise. I have a very even body fat distribution. Looking back on my tests, I don't think I've ever had a progesterone test done. Only a 17-OH progesterone test. In that link that I posted two comments up, it says that Progesterone "Decentralizes fat storage, conditional on estrogen and cortisol concentrations". In other words, my body would not perceive estrogen or cortisol correctly because of incorrect receptor site binding and would, without a doubt cause a shit load of fat gain along with libido/erection problems. What do you guys think?
    This is the big one. I'm going to beg for this test if I have to.

    Most of progesterone in the male comes from the Testes.

    When I went on TRT, I had virtually no improvement in libido and erections, until I introduced a progestin (progesterone-like substance).

    What happened, is exogenous Test must have suppressed endogenous P4 output by shutting down the testes.

    But, your HPTA is intact. Why would you have a problem with progesterone?

    It sounds far fetched but I've been reading posts by young males with erection/libido problems on the net on various forums for a while and there were a few that said that they had high progesterone despite everything else being normal. They didn't seem to complain of weight gain though. It also seems to be a kind of freak occurrence. Then again, people are completely full of shit, haha.
    Obviously, this isn't the best guess but I think it's my best prospect right now.
