No there are different hormones. Both are present in women. Estrogen causes your breasts to start budding while progesterone causes it to change sizes. However these hormones will not help you attain your goal as you are a transgender person your body has its own reserves of testosterone which counter the action of estrogen. For you the option is plastic surgery and implants.

Hope this helps.
