Request about progesterone research 

Is there any peer-reviewed or otherwise scientific-community-validated research about progesterone effects in hrt? I want to ask about upping my dose and my dr tends to be suspicious of anything that isnt Real Scientific Literature

Also for those who are on progesterone: how much are you on? I'm on 100mg oral micronized and don't know if that's low or normal or what

@AzureHusky I was on exactly that dose. I stopped taking it though a long while back. Like 2.5 years ago. :P

@Nurbs do you see Lund as well? I get the feeling that is his "I don't think this makes a difference please stop asking about it" dose honestly heh

@AzureHusky This was with my doctor in NB who happily handed it out. It was causing me too many mood swings though and it's very much a "maybe" so I figured the risk/reward wasn't right for me.

re: Request about progesterone research 

@Nurbs totally fair. It gave me some moodiness and dry mouth for like two weeks and then seemed to just kinda disappear

@AzureHusky Yeah I went from like, no hormones to ALL THE HORMONES cause of the whole, bad at making T thing.. So I'd take anything from my experience with a grain of salt tbh. :P
