Would the cause for no desire for sex, even though I have morning wood quite regularly, be in high progesterone? It would seem that my testosterone levels are allright and I also have more bodyhair compared to couple of years ago.

Also, I got confirmation from goldpharma that my ella tablets were shipped yestarday. Can't wait to try it out!

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong here, I have quite a basic understanding of this. Is the main theory here that our Estrogen/Progesterone ratios are out of whack somehow? In particular that this ratio is too low, which is why people are taking Ella/RU486, to try to reduce Progesterone, or Estriadol to increase Estrogen?

If we test Estriadol, Progesterone etc. and find that actually the ratio is too high, (which I have seen in some cases despite not getting my results back yet) could we have better luck trying to increase progesterone/estrogen. I'm pretty sure I'm talking way too broadly here so help would be appreciated
PSSD Since March 2016 after 4 weeks on Sertraline
Conditioned worsened and peaked in April, since then possibly seen a 20% improvement
Would be useful for data collection if people could add their histories in their signature

your SHBG also seems low. Mine was also low like yours. I am not sure if SHBG can play a role in this PSSD?
