It sounds like you do have high androgens, too much estrogen can be bad for skin if your sensitive and acne prone. When your skin is sensitive, any changes in your hormone levels could cause a flare up. Just because E made you grow doesn't necessarily mean youre E deficient. You could have normal level hormones and just by adding more E it upped your estrogen even more and made you grow. Some women just have natural B cups, it's genetics. The only way to tell is to have your hormones tested. Chances are you broke out on PM means you were putting too much E in your system, it would seem like you might have normal levels of E then. Could just be your androgens stopping you from breast growth.
Do you have heavy periods and bad pms? those are signs of E dom.
You could gain breasts from gaining weight but you also can gain weight everywhere else too.
Quote:And since my breasts get fuller during luteal doesnt that mean i am progesterone deficient? Isnt progesterone all i need? But why everytime my progesterone is high in luteal phase i get acne too?
no, progesterone rises for every woman during luteal phase and breast swell due to water retention.. by adding PC you could have that same effect but you have to cycle it, so you'll still just have that effect during luteal (thats my problem rn, swelling breast but only during luteal) but PC could help level you if you have low Progesterone-- you break out because your sensitive to your hormone fluctuations. Some women are like that, I am like that, though I have it under control now. Drink lots of anti andro teas and water during the time you know you're gonna break out-- you'll be lowering your androgens while your P can rise. P usually prevents acne, so if you break out during luteal, pc might help you.

if you have insurance, I would suggest going to your GYN-- they can give you an idea, or maybe issue a hormone test.
estrogen and progesterone are what make boobies grow in general.

bad skin is usually all androgen related creating more sebum in your skin-- keep your skin clean, only drink water, wash your skin 3x a day, if you cant get to washing, get a facial wipe to wipe away the sebum-- if you have dry skin make sure to moisturize. (moisturize regardless) :p

If you have noticed a change in hair and acne after changing your diet, it is androgens-- my advice to you is try PC, cycle it with your luteal phase only. See if it helps, if you break out a bit it could be an initial break out, so give it 60 days-- if you don't see any acne and feel youre growing on it, try a low dose of pm during follicular. Another reason why you could have broken out on PM is because you didnt level it with PC-- you could have been making yourself E dom without cycling it or using it with PC.
you could always try the noogleberryit is non hormonal.
and also just throwing this out there, NBE is a lot more than just P & E-- it's a blanace, you can try adding in a multi vitamin, collagen, vitamin C for absorption, coconut oil for fat storage, there are other herbs besides PM that are less potent. Herbs that help prolactin. amino acids and protein, etc etc good luck!
