Do not use without : Consulting your doctor. It is not likely to make your breasts bigger and may have undesirable effects. See this site for information on progesterone. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0000261/.

Careful: Both estrogen and Progesterone affect the breasts. Typically estrogen leads to more breast growth but not usually after the breasts have matured. There are associations between Progesterone and possible breast cancer if used chronically. Any way that Progesterone is absorbed with affect the breast.
