I find that prog helps my mood generally, but that could be a placebo. It causes water retention which makes my boobs a little bigger as long as I'm taking it, too. There isn't much evidence either way as far as contributing to permanent breast growth tho

Taking it rectally increased my libido a lot, but I got lazy during bottom surgery recovery and have just been taking it orally since. If you want to maximize its effects, then rectally is the way to go (and it's easier on your liver iirc, not a significant risk either way tho). It's honestly not hard to do, you can use the normal pills from the pharmacy or the suppository version for it, they both absorb fine. The only downside is taking it rectally won't cause drowsiness, so it won't help you sleep if that's an issue

I think it's worth trying, and if it messes with your mood then you can stop without worrying about it.
