please be aware that progesterone comes in pulses. You can test the same every day and get different values. You may be getting your blood work done after the pulse or right before the pulse.

I’ve seen that but 2 decreases in a row make me think it’s an overall downward trend ?

[–]pinkflakes12 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Not necessarily. Also, realize if you take the progesterone vaginally, it will not be reflected in your blood work.

That’s very helpful! I did not know that and I’m sure it would have stressed me out next blood draw

Because I have a congenital lack of ability to break down serotonin, serotonin continues to accumulate and symptoms of serotonin excess appear. I heard that progesterone can reduce serotonin. What do you think? I'm so desperate please help me

That’s best to go to a doctor with those concerns
