Hi!
I made a post before already with all my latest labs but I’ll post it here again:

*Progesterone: 3.8 nmol/l (range <3.0) converted to 1.096 ng/ml *
So this question is specifically about my progesterone. I have dealt with low libido lately and I have pretty low T (but not anything crazy low). But my progesterone levels are well outside range. I have even seen ranges of <02 ng/ml and I’m at 1.096! So what can be the cause of this elevated progesterone? And is there something I can do to lower it? And is it possible that these levels of progesterone are causing low libido for me? There doesn’t seem to be much info on progesterone and its effect on men online. I did see that it reduces DHT. Is that true? I will also mention that this test was not specifically designed for men, rather it was just a generic test designed for women. COuld this cause elevated results? I also want to make it clear that I am not on TRT or any medication. I take a multivitamin, a modest dose of vitamin D, C, K, B12, Citrulline, Sunflower Lecithin, Fish oil, a probiotic and magnesium.
