That's really intresting bit of research . I will have to look up herbs with progestrone

Unless something has been discovered very recently, as far as I know the only plant based source of progesterone was discovered about 2 years ago and is in very very small amounts in the leaves of, from memory, a Walnut tree!

As for progesterone affecting the shape of the breast, I'm sure it does. I took Microgest for a few months about 18months ago and I definitely had a rounder shape, but as soon as I stopped taking it I started to sag, just like a post-menopausal woman. So if you choose to start it, there is no stopping, unless you want to loose shape.

Thanks Pansy, that is interesting. I thought it was also interesting concerning the application of PC on the boys for BPH treatment, and how much a factor 5-ar, is reported from using it. Applying 2x daily?? Wow!, the smell is horrid.

The use of PC for breast growth was found beneficial for tuberous/fibrotic breasts. Using it sparingly for the reasons you listed would be a good idea. I'd like to hear more testimonials from users that applied directly. Or feedback regarding application sites, for instance, applying on the upper breasts and small amounts on the sides.

Concerning the new plant based, the research study is posted below, I also liked hearing about how progesterone is in some of the foods mentioned. Or that progesterone is now being used to treat traumatic brain injuries.

But I also found this study alarming:
