I've been seeing a LOT online about the efficacy of progesterone in feminizing HRT, specifically with regard to breast growth and mood stabilization. I've discussed prog with my endo, but the line was essentially "it isn't recommended, because there is no proven efficacy". However, my specific endo very much made it clear I could try it if I wanted to.
I think I want to.
However, I wanted to ask around beforehand. If you have taken progesterone or are taking it, can you please let me know:
1 - Did it make you feel awful, or depressed? Some folks seem to indicate that one of the major matabolites from prog digestion is apt to fuck with mood.
2 - Did it make you really tired or sleepy? Any disruption to your sleep?
3 - What route of administration were you using?
4 - Was it a long term, continual prescription? Or did you take it for a set duration?
And most importantly
5 - Did it yield satisfactory results for you, whatever those might be?
Thanks so much for any help or answers on this!
