Personally, I don't see the point in cycling our hormone levels at all since we don't have female reproductive organs. The normal menstrual cycle exists solely to allow the lining of the uterus to build up to accept implantation of a fertilized egg, and if that doesn't happen the lining must be shed (during a woman's period.) Since this cannot happen for us, what is the point of mimicking that cycle?
My understanding of the benefits of taking progesterone is that it needs some breast tissue to work on and until you have that, it is largely wasted. Also, as with genetic women, any small size increase in size will remain only for as long as you are taking it. If you stop taking the progesterone, expect to loose that extra bit that it helped produce.
Another consideration is that PMS symptoms happen largely during the period of a woman's cycle in which progesterone levels are higher and estrogen lower. So, if you wish to experience that, go for it. For myself, I can probably pass on that aspect of being a woman.
