Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare magic.
Progestogel is often prescribed in certain conditions leading to painful breasts. It is contraindicated in pregnancy especially during the second and third trimesters but can be used during the first trimester if benefit outweighs the risk. In my opinion, I would suggest you use it only when the pain is unbearable but if you can support the pain, then there is no need to use it.
I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
