Progesterone?

Progesterone? - Beehaw

My endo effectively leaves it up to me whether I start progesterone now, 1.5 years into HRT. What I could find online suggested that starting too warly could have negative impact on breast growth, so I said no at this point since I haven’t yet seen as much breast growth as I would like. Should I be starting after 2y? Should I be contacting my endo to change my mind and start now? What’s the wisdom?

Starting around 6 mo would be ideal, but there’s never a too late.

Based on what? There are so many conflicting sources for this stuff :(

Transfem Science would be the most authoritative, they have great info on medication.

Thanks, they don’t really have much to say about the timing unless I missed something with my ctrl+F but it is a wonderful resource!

unfortunately I think the reality is that nobody knows 🤷‍♀️
