    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    I'm glad you're considering it. I don't have a particular protocol but you could follow what I did. I have particular belief about what's going on but there's no way at this point to be certain. I know I improved a lot and it's kind of a hybrid of what was described on propeciahelp. I just...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    I definitely am considering another round of Ella maybe in a month. For this protocol I think there may be a synergy with using progesterone and ru/Ella but not at the same time, IMO. I think it would be great if others would experiment with the protocol. If we had enough guys trying it and...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    Thanks! I had pretty bad anxiety initial jan 2017 when I crashed. I had some brain fog that I think improved the first time I tried progesterone May 2017. That helped mentally but no real sexual improvements. I was not really trying to control prolactin then and I think that’s important IMO ...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    I hadn’t planned to get labs. I checked last year and testosterone, free testosterone were higher end of normal. Estradiol normal. I’m not exactly sure why the Ella dose helped so much. If you read my posts I was slightly depressed because the progesterone benefits dropped significantly. In...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    So what actually happened was that I was getting a pretty reasonable benefit from taking progesterone topically for about 7 days then off for 2-4 days and somtimes taking RU between progesterone cycles but then ( you can read in my posts) while on progesterone the benefit started fading and I...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    Update: Post Ella 17 days and post progesterone 23 days. Everything is still holding. Fingers are crossed! Libido is about 80-85% and ED is 90%. Mental stuff has resolved. I hope I continue to improve but if symptoms stay at current state I would be very satisfied considering the hell...

    EsQimo Log (New member / My labs + EllaOne treatment)

    That may be correct. This is an extremely difficult disease to understand. I do believe there is a common thread or pathway for all of us to follow. I’ve done well recently with progesterone and then Ella. And I’ve also had little to no benefit and even worsening of symptoms in the past...

    Agree. Most likely prolactin. OTC Ldopa. Would start ASAP

    EsQimo Log (New member / My labs + EllaOne treatment)

    I’ve done two short Ella cycles 2-3 days 5-10mg and a few short RU cycles. I agree, the benefit seems to come after4-5 days. After my last cycle of Ella I stopped everything except still taking choline and inositol. I’ve been doing great. You can read my updated but I really believe in this...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    I know what you mean about following the propeciahelp method and if you're benefiting I'd stick with it. I am currently of the opinion that Ella may have some sort of synergistic effect. If your interested, I would dose Ella 10 mg daily for 2-3 days but do it after you have stopped...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    Update: This is 14 days post Ella and 20 days after stopping progesterone. I continue to feel good and I feel like I am doing even just a little better every day (almost.) I'm having strong morning wood every morning, ED is at probably 90% and libido 80-85%. Mood is good and thinking/mental...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    Hi Jaxx, Have you tried RU or Ella between the progesterone cycle?

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    I also have kind of a weird symptom. It's difficult to describe but I will attempt anyway to see if anyone has noticed the same. I have this ever so light tightness deep in my sinus area. It's not unpleasant and infact it feels abnormally pleasant. It's almost as if I am clenching my jaw but...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    Wrote the above in a rush. I meant that the important part of feeling this much better is that I haven't been taking progesterone in almost 3 weeks. I am taking cdp choline and inositol ( someone recommended it.) I take Vitamin D every couple of days but otherwise not taking anything. I...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    Update: Day #11 after Ella and day 17 after stopping progesterone, and I continue to feel more normal every day. It's too early to consider this a recovery but I'm very pleased with the progress. The important part right now is that I am not I am taking cdp choline and Inositol daily. I take...

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    I've thought about the same thing. I think it's worth trying.

    RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

    Update. This is day 8 after stopping Ella. I am pleasantly surprised that the benefit continues. I haven’t had a drop off yet and maybe ever so slightly better each day. I’ve had enough drops or relapses to know this might not last.
