I tried prog around 9 months in. It improved the shape of my breast growth, but not their size. They remained under developed. The biggest issue was my mood though. Prog gave me an emotional cycle, and I'd crash deep in to a pit of despair for 3 or 4 days a month, and then the next day it would just be gone and I'd be back to normal.

I stopped prog to get away from that.

Anecdotally though, most people who experience mood effects from prog say that it improved their mood.
