Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hey Group, Is it ok for a man to take progesterone? I have read conflicting anwers from very good doctors on this. I ask because I'm trying to lower my DHT levels because I'm losing scalp hair but gaining body hair. Thanks, -- Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 DH takes about 5 mg daily. Phil said it boosted his libido, and DH certainly isn't lacking there either.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Mike I was telling men no don't do this it is a feminizing hormone. I did labs checking both my pregnenolone and progesterone first. My labs were near the bottom of the range. I started on Life-Flo Preg. 15mgs cream did this for 12 weeks my levels went up to 117 but my progesterone never moved. I ran out of Preg. cream and order more by addident I got progesterone cream I was using this posting how much better I was feeling on the higher dose of Preg. cream when one of the guys pointed out to me I am not using Preg. cream. I am using the women's dose of progesterone cream. Well I felt so great on this I kept using it. My sex drive when way up and my wood lasted as long as I needed it. Before trying this I could get it up for sex but it would only last about 15 min.'s then do down. So this was not much fun for my wife no time for fore play. I was on this about 6 weeks and just like Dr. says I started getting feelings of PMS sweating, sore and hard nipples and my Estraidol levels shot up. So I stopped using it for about 13 days then tired it aging one night and all the sides came back so now I am off it. I did labs last tue will see them in a week. Then if all is good I am going back on the Preg. cream. My thinking is my Prog. levels are up and going on the Preg. cream will keep them up. Before you try this do labs.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Phil, My progesterone is non existent - literally. I've had 6 labs done and every time my prog doesn't even register. Same with my pregnenalone. Plus, progesterone is very good for our brains and I'm in the middle of rehabbing a brain injury (the reason I'm in this whole HRT mess to begin with). I do have very high E2 right now that I'm trying to get down. I also have very high DHT as well. Should I just wait until the DIM kicks in to begin taking progesterone?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I would try Preg. first or if you want do the Prog. but don't get the high dose I did 20 mgs get this one. http://www.iherb.com/Life-Flo-Health-Progesta-Care-Body-Cream-Men-s-Formula-3-oz\ -85-g/9861?at=0 If after a time you start sweating bad stop using it.
