Welcome to Breastnexus!
Breasts begin to bud as soon as the ovaries begin producing estrogen. The length of tinme between the onset of breast development and the first period varies greatly on an individual basis; there is no stage of breast development constant with the first menstrual period.
Yes, you got it right, progesterone is low and level during early breast development and does NOT play an active role in breast development at that time. Progesterone is not involved until estrogen has led to the development of a duct system within the breasts. Progesterone develops the lobules and alveoli of the existing duct system, maturing the breast.
So, estrogen to start, progesterone and prolactin to finish.
It's obvious that coming to grips with how you identify with your body is causing you alot of anguish. I cannot fully comprehend it, being a female, but it sounds like a lost and lonely place to be in mentally.
There are alot of bio males on these boards, and the community as a whole is very supportive. There is even a forum dedicated to breast growth in bio males.

You'll find alot of wisdom there, from people, male and female identified, who've been through what you're going through now.
Good luck with whatever path you take!
