So i might start to take progesterone but i need advice
So I've reading a bit about progesterone, makes wonders for some, for others not much, some people use it orally meanwhile others prefer to use it as a suppository to avoid side effects (something like being drunk by prog).
Seems like the best idea is to take 200mg daily because half life is about 18 hours (correct me if im wrong).
So i want to give prog a try, 200mg daily via rectal intake, i have seen that some people do a "cycle" like taking prog for 2 weeks, then a pause of 2 weeks, other people doing 21/7, and i saw someone saying that having a cycle is a good idea because your body starts to build tolerance to prog so the effects are less and you should take breaks because of that.
TL:DR;
Here are my questions.
Is a good idea to start with 200mg progesterone?
and how should i take it? daily? should i take prog for two weeks then stop two weeks, repeat?
Help and much love ♥️
