5 months after my Orchie, we added progesterone, cyclical, to my regime.  I have only done one cycle, but I have noticed some filling of the breast.  Which make me happy.  :D

I started P two months into HRT. Depo Provera monthly. I noticed an imediate response in my mind and breasts. I am only about 6 months on HRT and I am already pushing into B cup territory. I didnt have much breast development before the P.
It can make you moody but what girl isnt moody? lol

Nearly thirty years of it has made me an all natural F cup.

Ergo it Worked for me - but YMMV as we are all different.

I've been wanting to bring p into my current hrt which consist of estrodial valarete and spiro for awhile but my dr isn't to excited about that idea. I've heard it's great in attainin larger and more fuller breast which is something I lack at the moment (im barely an a cup)... My dr said she will consider it after a year and I've only been on hrt for 9 months.  I'm curious does by the 9 month point what you have in breast development about what ur going to attain from e alone?  I'm taking at the moment high doses of e injections 3-4 times a month and spiro ( something that the first 4 months I wasn't taking appropriate dosages (far below average and very far apart in injection time)

I'm on prometrium daily rather than cycling. It did amazing things for my mood and seems to have caused a surge in development. I'm at just shy of a year on hrt and started prometrium about 3 months ago. I had a full A at 9 months but am pushing into a full B pretty comfortably now. To be fair, all of the women on either side of my family are more developed than average, so it could be my genes causing the speedy development as much as anything.

Hi Cynthia
Be very careful with the depo provera.  The side effect profile is not good especially depression, and is well documented.  Just google it.  A better option may be to use a micronised progesterone.  Of course i am no doctor, so seek medical advice.

As for P in general and cycling; my research tells me that everyone seems to have a different story to tell.  There are arguments for and against P and for and against cycling.  P and its effects really defines "YMMV".

If you are under medical supervision, talk to your doctor about it.  Try it and have your doctor and yourself monitor the effects.

I've been on high levels of estrogen and progesterone. I have never felt better. My breast are firm and nipples are very sensitive. I have read your comments but is cycling better for you than daily use?

Sometimes, yes. I just finished 12 days of my cycle yesterday. The first couple of days I actually got a couple of erections and ejaculated white. But I still have incredible difficulty being aroused without a partner now.

I normally do not get spontaneous erections or ejaculate much of anything.

according to Dr. McGinn some progesterone metabolizes into testosterone, which is why she recommends it for after surgery in order to maintain a healthy libido. I'll probably try cycling first as it seems more natural, but not necessarily for the libido part. The one I had before was so healthy it damn near killed me, so I don't mind living with a merely anemic one now. :)

It makes me ->-bleeped-<-ing cranky.  I can't take it daily without be a moody bitchzilla.  I notice my mood being affected after about 4-5 days of use, so I usually don't take it longer than a week at a time.  A couple things I will say about it though, 1) it has increased my sex drive, not overpowering, but noticeable, 2) it has created some breast stimulation.  Although I can't say it has made that much of a difference as far as breast growth.  Minimal at best.

I take progestrone & estrace daily. Then injections of both every 2 weeks. I can tell when I'm getting to the end of the 2 week period. The about a day after the injection I feel happy, horny. My nipples are so sensitive to touch, I can't handle the nipple rubbing on my shirt. Sucking on them puts me in orbit. I feel like orgasm after orgasm, but I don't ejactuate. It is very hard to explain. But would never go back. I feeling great and satisfied.
Sorry if I rambled.

Is progesterone specifically for breast growth only? If so, is there any reason to take it if you have had a Breast Augmentation?

See my reply just above yours sweetie ;)
