Will chlorine reduce progesterone levels

Hi Wray
Could you please tell me if the chlorine in public swimming pool will reduce the progesterone levels in my body? Although I lead an active life I have just begun to swim 5 days a week for an hour each time and noticed that I've been feeling quite warm again for about 2-3hrs after I've come home and showered. The other thing could be that I was running low on the Natpro and had to stretch it out because of overload on postal services over christmas as I was awaiting an order to arrive. The pool is an outdoor facility which I love coz the chlorine doesn't seem to be as strong or maybe it's the access to fresh air instead of an indoor pool where the smell is overwhelming. BTW my order came through and I've just up'd the dose from 2-2.5tsp to about 3tsp just for the first few days and that has seemed to settle me down again. Thanks again for your help I really appreciate it and your wealth of good advise and knowledge.
