How fast does progesterone reduce muscle mass and androgens?

@waterbottle no shrinking, yes it went away after a few hours, maybe half a day. Deeper voice, leaner face overnight (reduced puffines), just relaxed and overall feeling well. Beardgrowth was always fast, never noticed it slowing down. Never got shrunken muscles or anything like that, never heard it could happen to be honest.
The amount is just an estimate, slowly building it up.

@LetTheRedeemed No idea tbh. Most likely a combination of things that was slowly making changes, until the change was drastic enough that he noticed.

I'm surprised that more people don't have experience with progesterone's anti-androgenic effects, like muscle reduction. On the old Ray Peat forum there were some discussions about it, a guy even mentioned that in just 4 days of using progesterone, there was a visible difference with shoulders becoming more flat (sticking less out).
