Good question. I don't know. I've done it 3 times. Essentially I do it every other time I go off progesterone. The first two times definitely made a difference ( I think because I've been feeling a huge improvement) but time will tell. I was on my 4 day break end of last week and weekend and Saturday did a very small ( est 10mg) of RU. Still feel good but to be honest ED/ libido down just a bit r firstaround 60-70%. Typically will see rise after couple days on progesterone so will know better later this week if the trend continues.

Interesting. You mentioned that the first two times made a difference for you. Did you take Ru on your first two cycles 4 days long? Each day 10mg?

For the record, I will also be doing this.
Replacing RU with Macuna for Prolactin, and I will also simultaneously be running CDN Protocol.
We'll see how it goes! Will update, accordingly.

I just finished my first RU/Prog cycle. 3 days RU/7 days low dose prog. Definitely helped with libido, although it was not consistent. Sort of would come in waves. Still, much better than calm waters :). Also think it helped my general attitude.

I'm very happy for my first cycle.

That's great news. Hopefully each round you will notice more improvement! I only take RU for one day between rounds now.

Anyone else noticed a bit of acne while taking prog?
Haven't noticed that but maybe from higher androgenic hormones? Can you remind me how you are doing on your protocol... symptoms, what you are taking and when and % benefit over the treatment regimen?

Well I for one feel like absolute trash after a single "dosing" of progesterone.

How much progesterone did you use? Where did you apply it, if you don't mind me asking. Are you taking anything else? Did you try RU?
Very little, cant really give a good estimate, other than it resembles the coin picture in this thread, aka very little (like a small dot) to scrotum and other parts without body fat. Only taking this + mucuna pruriens, maca and tribulus (all normal dose)

Hi guys. I decided to share my experience. I fight mycoplasma and pssd. Last days were not the worst, come on I have a zero libido. I bought herbs for Lyme disease. Andrographis, cat's law and knotweed. Use as a 1/3 teaspoon on the leaflet. I mixed 3 herbs and poured boiling water. I drank this mixture and after a while the kernels started to ache so much as after the breakup. Reading information about andrographis it was written that it reduces progesterone. This is really strange, because for a long time my testicles have not hurt. I have terrible acne on my back. Give me a comment about what you think about it.

I used a small amount. Like 1/4 pump on the scrotum.
Its been about 3 days and I feel kinda tired.

I guess I'm scared to do a whole cycle, unless its common to feel that bad the first dose

Did you also do RU? I think feeling a little tired with progesterone is common. That should improve. What other side effects do you have?

For those that don’t react well to this, I believe you need to get into better health. Work on ARL/TEI balancing, detox for dummies, zinc finger/betaine HCL protocols, fasting etc. You need to clear your body of infections, toxicities.

This RU/prog protocol definitely works for a good portion of us, but the healthier the better undoubtedly.

Update:

I noticed a drop off over the past week. It's discouraging to have set backs but I think it's expected. I think it's because I was not taking the break off progesterone for long enough. I was miscalculating my days off. I had been feeling such a benefit with progesterone, I got lazy about it. So I stopped Progesterone on Saturday and today I'm feeling the bounce back. I think (for me) you have to stay off progesterone for at least 4 days, maybe 7 days and look for the bounce back before restarting.

@Jack17 keep it up man. Love how you are posting everything here and trying to perfect this for everyone here. I think a lot of guys could benefit from this- especially those whose symptoms are primarily sexual. Good stuff!
