Actually, I understood that Progesterone promotes milk gland tissue, not water retention.  Especially for older transitioners who tend toward "tubular" breasts, it is thought that it promotes a rounder, more natural effect.  I certainly has for me.

Yep that sounds more right as I've heard lots of counts of a secretion coming out of the nipples in trans girls after a long period of progesterone. But no matter what it causes in the breasts to fill out I think most would agree that if they take it for more than a month then come off it they have a small reduction in breast size(after a large gain!)

I promote its use as I've read some sad storys accompanied by pictures of girls with really pointy boobs who never had it in the regimen who had to get corrective surgery.

Yeah, I haven't noticed a big difference in size, but I definitely have noticed the rounder more natural shaping taking place

I suppose it could be considered an increase in size, but it seems to be on the sides and lower part of breasts... Maybe a bit of cleavage also, but I'm not sure

Anyway, I'm rather happy about it because that pointy cone shape was really bugging me... The girls just didn't look quite right to me 

But now they seem to be shaping up nicely
