yes, prog generally increases libido (but it doesn't feel like male libido, which is what I actually hate).

If you're only going to take it orally, don't bother tbh - it probably won't help you much at all.

I took it for the reason you mentioned - to help suppress testosterone production, and then to help me sleep when my E levels were high when I was using monotherapy to suppress T.

But I only took it rectally, and I only recommend you take it rectally. There's not much point in taking it orally.
