Here are Dr Curtis's comments on Progesterone.
I am concerned about my breast development and was considering starting to take it, but I do find his explanations and arguments against here very persuasive.

- and I feel that his comments on Estrogen dosage are also interesting and worthy of consideration
Wonderful read, Thank You Steffi for posting that. It's made me rethink my progesterone prescription, and am going to talk it over with my doctor at my next appt in a few weeks. I know which way he leans already, which is for me to NOT be on it. Some of the points in this article hit pretty dead on, like quite possibly the reason that I had breast growth during the period that I have been on P, could quite well because I did gain weight. Enough so that I'm in process of losing it now through exercise and low-calorie/carb dieting, and wonder if it won't come right off the breasts.
If indeed I come off P, and weight loss takes back my breastage, it looks like another surgery, a BA, which I was soo happy to not have to do. But there's no way I can happily continue at my present weight, I so hate having extra pounds on. And having larger breasts really has made me feel more complete. They aren't huge, but they definitely enhance my silhouette, and look and feel (and when felt) great. I pray they don't recede. I hate the idea of having 'fake' breasts, but an A, or small B cup just won't do, for my large frame.
But thank you for the post, it's one of the first writings on the subject that has swayed me the other way on this topic.
