I want to take progesterone to reduce body hair, but I think it’s just making it worse.

I have gotten significantly more hairy since last year. The 2 factors since then that have changed is not sleeping from wellbutrin-induced insomnia, and taking progest-e, k6-keto-p4 and pansterone. Originally I thought my increased hair, with my beard growing on my cheeks up to my eyes, increased stomach and back, and arm hair, was due to not sleeping, but then I found out that progesterone can convert to testosterone, and I noticed that the amount of hair would remain relatively the same, then increase after taking progesterone. I heard in the Generative Energy podcast from Dr. Peat that progesterone could be used to REDUCE body hair, but it seems to be making it WORSE for me.
Does anyone know if this increased hair is likely due to cortisol increasing androgens from not sleeping, or from the progesterone, which I’m much more leaning towards now. If so, how can I reverse it, if that’s even possible? The very high beard line and back hair is very unsightly.

How's your thyroid, what's your waking up temp? It's probably not good since your sleep is bad.
