I think progesterone also increases my libido, actually. Definitely makes my skin/hair softer and makes it glow more. I believe it increases my appetite momentarily, sometimes I get cravings for salty/sweet foods and chocolate. Has a positive effect on my mood, at least at first when it hits me. Helps me sleep better, deeper although it can also give me more energy/drive at times too. It sharpens my vision momentarily. Gives my breasts more fullness, more volume with areola/nipple area protruding more. I think my nipples have increased in size due to progesterone.
I honestly have been on the fence about it as it can also oppose estrogen's effects, reducing estrogen receptors and increasing conversion of estradiol to the weaker estrone. Some get irritable on it, even depressed. A few find it may even shrink breast size, others, give them more and make breasts rounder. I tend to be more emotional on it whereas on injectable estradiol alone, I'm calmer but kind of 'blah' too.
Is known to increase fat deposition in female areas but can also lead to weight gain in the waist area for some.
In the end, it's about trial and error. To each their own. I take a high dose, by the way. Orally, you will feel more the sedative effects giving you sort of a "high" and making you sleepy, at times.
