It's also notable that you started with a progestin BC, Mirena, and then added phytoestrogens/estrogen.  It's common for progesterone/progestin+phytoestrogens/estrogen to give results.  Plus high testosterone plus progestin without estrogen could have made you smaller than what you would have been.  So correcting shrinkage from both of those may have helped too.  So it's not only the combination of progesterone+estrogen but also eliminating what were probably the only 2 problems you had left.  At the same time there may be other things you take for granted that you have always been doing right.  Whole grains are key too.  ALAs & other nutrients in flax are also nice.

I've seen a few stories of extremely rapid growth from progestin BC + phytoestrogens.  It works for many but not all.  And they tend to reach a certain point and then slow down a lot.  I think part of it is not only finding a certain way but also addressing the couple things a person is missing.  Then there's suddenly growth up to the point of whatever potential you were holding back.

There are also less common growth stories with PC from those who already had a lot of estrogen but needed more progesterone.

Or from healthy eating.  Particularly from dropping meat and protein and getting more whole starches.  It happens to a lot to those who become vegan.  Here's one in particular who grew a little from becoming vegetarian, then shrank way down from a vegan high protein low carb diet.  But then she grew way back up from adding lots of starches instead: http://www.30bananasaday.com/forum/topic...e=activity .  There are also many replies with HCLF vegan success stories, who tend to get whole natural carbs (refined are not so good).  Trying to get a lot of protein and avoiding carbs is super bad for your health.  Dropping excess protein, especially meat means you go to starches instead, or starve.  I believe that's what these vegan success stories are from.  Healthy whole grain carb foods are very good, containing many necessary nutrients that meat doesn't have.  Not only for NBE, but health in general including preventing heart disease, diabetes, etc. as well.  Actually I think a very small amount of meat is ideal, particularly seafood, to get what you need.

And then there are those with macromastia with extreme estrogen/progesterone sensitivity who have normal estrogen/progesterone but are huge from being hypersensitive to their normal estrogen/progesterone.  So they grow extremely fast from even more, but others are different.  Possibly because their IGF is super high, but who knows why.  

I don't think it's any one thing, it's everything, but once you get that one or two things you're missing you suddenly see major results.
