Re: Progesterone

I'm going to do mine real soon.

And Progesterone increases with age, so a level near the upper limit could easily be causing problems for a young person.

Some other factors:

Not every person will have the same exact level
Levels may change a bit between hours/days
Some people may not fit the profile
Bad/faulty equipment or a user error

Let's revisit that list:

summary:

Coraggio high 0.4 - 0.1-0.2
nonsense high 1.8 - 0.2-0.5
mcmare high 0.3 - >0.2
Glitch normal 87 - 42-196 * This value seems to be legitimately normal
DoIt Far upper normal* 0.19 - 0.1-0.2 * This is close to high. On another day this could have come back at a .18-.20. That could send it over.
marsupial normal - tending high 0.4 - 0.0-0.47 * This value is far closer to a clinically high value than it is to being in the center of the values.
Kinncrimson low 0.2 - 0.3-1.0 * This is an anomaly, and appears to be a low value.
Retron 7: high progesterone (0.324 ng / ml at 0.05 to 0.149)
Bigmum high 17OH progesterone 2,7 ng/ml [0,2-2,3] * I don't know exactly what this means, but it appears correlated

So while not every value is clinically abnormal according to these tests, we need to think about what a high level tells a doctor. It tells a doctor that there is something wrong in the hormone levels, and these ranges cover most people's normal range. I haven't run the stats on it becuase I don't have enough data, but I believe that this is statistically significant even at this low of a sample size. Think about it: if you went down your hormone panel and over 1/2 of the hormones were out of the accepted normal range, you would be shocked. These tests come back negative a vast majority of the time. Expecting to get each PSSD sufferer over the normal range for one hormone while doing tests across the world is like flipped a coin and expecting only heads.

I also want to test mine soon.
Most articles ive seen or about low progesterone. High progesterone in males seems less common and i havent seen any medical action to lower it on this forum either (Not perceived as a imminent medical issue?)

A lot of doctors who aren't specialists probably learned about its role in females, and never about it in males. It's not one of the big hormones tested for in males, and because of that I think it gets swept under the rug. Also, just about every doctor that I've ever seen has told me that T alone can determine sex drive in a man, and that if T is normal that everything else is too. Clearly, this isn't true, as the earlier studies I posted show. Nevertheless, most docs don't search the latest PROG literature, or search forums like this.

So I was reading on steroid forums and guys were asking about how to lower progesterone because their dongs aren't working, and guess what, the biggest suggestion is to take Proviron, a DHT med. Interesting.

Can someone please assist with a definitive list of what to test for?

I don't just want to ask for a "progesterone test", do I?

I recall there was an old thread with a list of things to test for, but I can't seem to find it.

If someone could help with bringing up that list, that would be great.

Cheers
