2 stories about how Progesterone cream helped

[dae1]

I took/take Pregnenolone 10mg. First round I took 10mg daily together with 25mg DHEA daily for 2 weeks. On day 4 I was insanely horny. I masturbated 4 times. With 38! My constant fatigue recovered and my anxiety was gone!

Unfortunately I took zinc and a b-komplex wich killed my libido for 3 weeks. Then I took BPC 157 and for the first time in 15 years my brain fog, anhedonia and depression was gone! For 5 days. I felt normal emotions! Happiness, joy, love! Then all came back after I ate Somon. Wich was so sad. Because I experienced how great life can be!

So there must be a bigger connection between these hormone things, gut health and histamine intolerance. This histamine intolerance is giving me depression, brain fog and so many symptoms. 2 days ago I ate somon again and yesterday was close to suicide.

I am still off Pregnenolone and DHEA. Will start tomorrow the next round. I am not sure if I should add progesterone or just take pregnenolone and hope it will convert to progesterone. What I can say is, even though I have this histamin issues from the somon, my head is much clearer than 1 month ago. But I cant tell if BPC 157 fixed something in my brain or if it something else. Because BPC 157 is supposed to fix dopamine and gabba issues.

I think people with post finasteride syndrome have issues with adrenal fatigue, gut inflammation and histamine intolerance, wich leads to a messed up hormone system. Most neurotransmitter are built in the gut. And when its inflamed, it cant be built. My last serotonine test shows very low serotonine. I tried 5-htp for some time wich helped a lot with mood. But was afraid to get addicted. So I stopped taking it.

Its all a big experiment.

EDIT: I read that a recommend dose of Pregnenolone is 50mg for 35+ years old guys. I take only 10mg and am 38. I might titrate up to 20-30mg and see what happens. DHEA is recommended 25 to 50mg. I think 25mg is ok for now.

Edit: so I just have read that progesterone is a 5ar inhibitor. How can that help us in that case? I just ordered the cream to test it. 5mg a day. And further use of pregnenolone and dhea.

Also they say high DHT in men ist not good. So it might be not really dht that causing our issues but more something else.

I really want to use progesterone with vitamin b6 p5p, but I will only do so after performing an ultrasound of my prostate to make sure it is not small and weak. Please keep us updated of your process. Thank you!

Interesting that this thread not got more attention. As for me, I stopped dhea and pregnenolone and progesterone 10 weeks ago. And am full retard mode again. Brain is just fucked up. No more emotions. I feel like a robot. I dont know what to do anymore. I started progesterone today again. It’s horrible to not been able to feel something.

Can you share with us how much you’re taking?
I’m sure lack of or imbalance of progesterone and or hormones downstream from it is a big part of why neuro side effects are so bad. I get the retard effect all the time and I’ve lost friends from it , I’ve lost employment from it, this has been going on for years and I’m fucking done with it. It’s easily worse than ED and overall the worst long term pfs side.

The HCG somehow fucked me up. Ever since I am like a robot. I take progesterone from time to time. 5mg cream a day. But not regulary anymore. I take Dhea but it does not help anymore. Pregnenolone gives me heavy migraines I figured out. But pregnenolone makes me feel completely different. Confident, I dont give a fuck what others think mentality etc. But the migraines are too heavy. I ordered pansterone and hope it will work better over the skin.

I am 11 weeks into TRT. 150mg a week. e3d. Zero effect so far.

Hi @anon73159565

I’m sorry to hear you aren’t doing great. HCG also had a negative effect on me, so I can empathise with your situation. Unfortunately, this is a fairly common experience for PFS patients, in that self-experimentation can make us worse. Please continue to share your experience with us.

I also noticed you haven’t completed the patient survey yet. When you have some time, could you please complete it using the instructions in this video I created: https://www.loom.com/share/c298a179a0e64cba8ef9e69ae0122ac4

I cannot understate how important this resource has been when liasing with researchers and clinicians, and your participation would be much appreciated.

Best,
Mitch
