Been on 200 mg progesterone for a month and a half, and 1.5 mg estradiol (currently at 130-50 range I think) and t is low, still no chest sensitivity but I do have breast growth and stretch marks. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Also quite energy drinks and only drink one cup of coffee a day, and have started quitting nicotine again, been on and off for a year. I’ve been eating, gained 30 pounds since starting a year ago, and remember having chest pain then but then it stopped and I’m worried I fucked something up

are you taking the prog as a suppository? it works a lot better that way

Nicotine is likely a factor, but so is luck.

I have not tried this yet lol. I’ve seen people talk about it and say the research is like it makes prog levels more consistent throughout the day, but it still drops off around the same times so I’m wondering if it really would make a big diff or if it’s just a waiting game.

it’s just that the oral route a lot of the prog gets wasted along your digestive tract bc it’s not a direct route to the bloodstream. Suppositories bypass first-pass metabolism so you get a lot more in your system that way

orally your liver will steal a lot of it
