Just got out on spiro. My doctor was fine putting me on it, but mentioned that it can negatively affect breast growth. Thoughts?

i've not heard of that before. i'm not sure how it would exactly, but progesterone is supposed to help fill out breasts so you could add that in at some point. worth noting that boobs grow over time, so even if it seems after the initial growth that it's slowed down, it could just be that two years down the road (while still on spiro, if you're still on it then) you have another growth spurt there

They didn’t seem certain tbh, and did say their evidence was purely anecdotal

yeah a lot of hrt stuff is relatively understudied, like we are finally getting a study seeing if prog actually affects breast growth in february
