@BeLikeWater Look , it says it right there in the wiki for progesterone.
Progesterone - Wikipedia
Dr. Diana Fleischman, of the
University of Portsmouth, and colleagues examined the relationship between progesterone and sexual attitudes. Their research was published in the
Archives of Sexual Behavior.
[57] They found that women who have higher levels of progesterone are more likely to be open to the idea of engaging in sexual behaviour with other women.
[58] A parallel pattern of openness to homosexual behaviour is particularly dramatic in men who have high levels of progesterone.

Basically progesterone is high since there is no potassium, and progesterone is trying to retain potassium.
So to lower progesterone, people need to satisfy it with potassium. And there is a fork in the body, either aldo is raised together with progesterone, so aldo is trying to retain sodium but it kills potassium , so aldo and progesterone are raised , or the cortisol and progesterone are raised.
Cortisol causes hypokalemia, so progesterone is raised to fight the cortisol effect. ( this is zinc finger problem)
Or it is simply potassium deficiency , in that case just progesterone will be raised.
This is why in electrolytes protocol I gave people copper with magnesium potassium histidine cysteine and some people recovered from PFS since this basically satisfied their cortisol aldo and progesterone and when all of these fell, testosterone and estrogen went up.
