In my quest for answers and information, I found this interesting website. I thought perhaps there may be others that would be interested in it as well.
Hormones: Urban Legends
There's a lot of other interesting things on the website too!

Quote:Only in male-to-female transsexuals in whom progestative chemical castration is combined with feminising estrogen therapy will full acini and lobular formation occur. Hence, combined progestative anti-androgens and estrogens is necessary for the genetically male breast to mimic the natural histology of the female breast.[
How important all of this is to optimal feminisation remains unclear and likely varies from individual to individual. What is clear is that Progestogens do play an important part in, among other things, proper breast development. Given that, and the lack of any compelling reason not to use them, it seems clear that a Progestogen should be a part of any optimal MTF HRT regimen.
Without progesterone breasts lose the chance to look female, progesterone cream helps to round breasts (and cancer prevention too).

I was up way too late last night reading the information on that website. I recall reading bits and pieces here on this forum in regards to Hormones so I figure it would be useful read for others. I am so happy that you all found it useful and interesting!!
Ha ha, nice Lotus, I was going to point that section as well as it was one of the things that stood out to me. Unfortunately I was already starting to dose as I was posting the link. What I am curious is if progesterone is needed for development, which is better, ingestion via pills or applying topically via cream.

I cant argue against the theory, but I tried 'nature identical' progsterone cream several times with no noticeable effect, however taking Microgest definately did increase volume, starting at top centre. For various reasons I stopped taking it after 2 batches, but I'm convinced it worked for me.
I highlighted that part cause I know this study having covered it before, the histology of the study was very thorough. Topical application has better results versus oral, (which has shit bioavailability). Good find though, I like seeing urban legends displaced.
