I've been taking oral prog (200mg) for about 2 years now, and e for about 3.

I've been wondering if I still need prog, and if the positive effects outweigh the bad. I've heard conflicting information about breast growth, libido, weight gain, and its effect on the liver, so I'm not really sure if prog is something I want to take long term or not.

I'm content with the breast growth that I've had, and they seem to have stopped growing (or at least I haven't noticed any changes). And I don't really care about my libido tbh. Since I started taking prog I have been having weight gain issues but idk if that's the prog or just me, but I do try to be healthy.

Also I am aware that oral prog doesn't do much because it has low bioavailability and I don't really feel like doing rectal prog.
