Mostly defecation timing. I dont want to take it only to need to poop an hour later, and I feel very unmotivated right before bed. Here is where someone chimes in with disbelief that I cant predict when I’ll need to poop or feel if I’ll need to soon, but my bowels just dont work that way. I fucking hate the internet sometimes.
oh, yeah - the only time I take it is right before bed - not just for the poop reasons but also the drowsiness it induces and the way it helps me sleep longer. The way I fix the motivation & brain problems is to use routine - I have a routine of showering, brushing teeth, moisturizing skin, etc. right before bed and I just pop the progesterone in as a part of that night-time routine. Establishing the routine is hard, but once it is established (maybe around 1 - 2 months of consistently doing it every night), it becomes automatic and easy. I used to not take care of myself at all, and I had to gradually build a routine.
and I’m the same with my bowels, particularly since I started estrogen - on testosterone I had fairly predictable bowel movements, but with estrogen I just never know these days.
I’ve almost never had an issue (except maybe when sick) where I had a bowel movement after my night-time routine, though.
