RU + Progesterone Cycle (PFS, PSSD)

Update: This is day #8 on low dose progesterone. ( and my forth cycle of progesterone) I actually forgot to use progesterone yesterday. I would say libido is at 80-90% normal. ED is 80-90% normal. Mentally I'm essentially normal. If this holds then I'd say I am essentially recovered. I know the benefits can always fad away, but this benefit has been going on and increasing for about the past 9 weeks. The longer this lasts, the more comfortable I am with believing this can be a valid recovery protocol. I'm very happy with the results.

wonderful news Jack,
at what % do you think you were at before trying RU/prog, sexually ?

I remember at the propeciahelp forum they were taking progesterone, but also tongkat ali, maca and selegeline/macuna puriens. Are you (still) taking any other stuff next to the progesterone atm?

Selegiline and Macuna puriens are to control Prolactin. This is very important! I take Selegiline and occasional Caber. I don't take very day and try to dose if I think prolactin is on the rise. I'm not sure about tongkat and maca. I don't take them. Since I am benefiting with out them, I doubt they are important. As I have been feeling better, I notice other benefits like I feel more confident. I make a lot of decisions at work and I just feel more confident about my judgement. I feel like I am in general like I am in a better mood. It's not huge but it is noticable.

Good news Jack I think it is very important where prog creme is used. Do you only use it on the testicle or also on the prostate?

Just on scrotum. I now it’s weird but it maybe key the benefitting from progesterone. Remember to use low dosage 1-2 mg

I remember they posted a picture of how little cream it was, but how on earth are you discriminating 1mg vs 10 mg?

It's 20mg for a complete pump( for biovea progesterone cream) , so I try to do less than a 1/4 pump so <5mg. est 1-2.5mg.

Yeah i got a tube :confused:
I don’t think it has to be that precise and I’d just attempt to keep it 5mg or less. At this point I think some of the failures are related to too much progesterone for too long of a cycle without a break between.

Yeah you might be right, most people in the propecia thread were rather positive. The 4 days off seems a bit short to me but I guess we need to experiment what fits best

Exactly. It would be great to get enough guys trying this to see what would be optimal. I think when you go off of the progesterone you will get a little drop and when you go back on it’s 3-4 before libido rises. But if you stay on progesterone too long, I think you benefit starts dropping. So I’d say currently the options are progesterone 7-14days with 3-7 days off and repeat.

I’ve been doing a 7 day cycle, with Mununa prurience, tribulus and Maca and I felt great, energy up, mood up, libido slightly up. But I decided to be careful and I’ll take 4days off, and then do a 2 day cycle. The propecia topic is great inspiration and so-far very relatable

Is this in addition to progesterone?

Do you think that Ru is necessary between each cycle? Or will you cycle without ru?

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 around 60-70%. Typically will see rise after couple days on progesterone so will know better later this week if the trend continues.
