Oh, without a doubt, Annie, miroestrol (actully its metabolized derivative deoxymiroestrol) is only capable of locking on to certain E-receptors, breast tissue being one. Also estradiol has a strong affinity to E-receptors which means that it can better overcome the inhibiting effects of T.
Now blocking testosterone and supplying estradiol makes for a powerful feminizing combination, imo. I will say, though, that PM is very good at stimulating breast growth, too, and an excellent way to start. My boobs were more tender and sore on PM than now on estradiol. I associated soreness with growth, but maybe that's not a reliable indicator. My progress pictures show the breast growth I've achieved on estradiol and spiro over the past 2 months (compare the May 18th and July 15th photos). Areola growth is particularly evident.
