Banking eggs, already on T

Does anyone know how long you would have to be off of T to be able to bank eggs? Would you have to take estrogen injections also?
If so, should I do this after about 2 years of T, after my body is fully adjusted to it? I don't think it'd be right to mess with my body right now (4 mo), as I just began "puberty". I could not do it before T because I was only 17 and there was no way for me to get $10,000 for the procedure. In 2-3 years, there definitely could be a way.
Would it cause a lot of muscle atrophy and damage to be off of a month or two (or however many) months on T?

The hormones are much more dramatic than simple estrogen. The hormones are taken for about 6 weeks for each time you want to deposit. I would guess it would take whatever time to start menstruating plus 6 weeks.

Edit to add: each cycle is 6 weeks and $10,000. It usually takes more than one try to collect enough eggs. It's also roughly $2500 a year to keep them frozen.

Do you know how long you would have to be off of T prior to starting those hormones?
And I saw one banking website which said it was only $500 a year, I guess it just depends on the place  ;D

No idea how much time off T. It could be a few months or a few weeks.

If your body is fully adjusted and used to T, it's going to be a lot harder (physically and mentally) for you to go off T and have injections of strong female hormones.
