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
During normal cis female puberty, progesterone comes in about 2 years after estrogen. Do with that information what you will. I’m pretty sure that mechanism evolved to make sure there was enough boob to feed a baby by the start of the menstrual cycle, rather than to arrest breast growth. Breasts will generally grow after that point, and progesterone is important for their maturation.
