I’m finally getting my hormones! I’m gonna do injections, and my doctor said she’s comfortable prescribing me oral progesterone as well if I want it. And it’s a female hormone, so why shouldn’t I have it, right? I know it’s supposed to help with breast development, and maybe libido, but I haven’t done as much reading about progesterone as I have estrogen. Should I start it at the same time I start estrogen? Is it even worth taking? Would love to hear others’ thoughts and experiences

    tbf that study found that higher amounts of estrogen were correlated with greater breast development, as I understood it, it failed to show progesterone itself caused greater breast development (though it’s basically accepted truth within the community that prog helps breast growth)
