HRT pause to store reproductive material

[Tattimatonen]

I'm young and I'm heavily considering a three month (or so) pause in HRT to be able to bank my genetic material. I've been on it for about 5 months now. How much could a pause harm my development? Would the final changes I get be much smaller? How much could my bones grow and ruin my face and body even more? I won't be able to afford FFS in years and I could never live fulltime without it if I changed in the three months at all. How much am I risking? Could I somehow become sure nothing would grow? X-rays?

These are questions you should be asking the doctor, hopefully you are under a doctor's care.  Starting and stopping hormones carries some risks.

I have been consulting a doctor, but she's not 100% sure. I just want more opinions, maybe someone who's had a pause in HRT and can say if anything permanent happened. How much could my bones change in a worst-case scenario? I couldn't ever live with myself if anything permanently noticeable happened or if I ruined my female development, for example breast development by doing this.

Anyone? The only things I'm really afraid of are masculine bone development and permanent harm to my female development, there has to be someone relatively young who has experience with pauses like this, right? I'm really scared and my doctor doesn't have any real answers, do any of you have any opinions or experiences, please?

[Sarah Louise]

No one can give you a definitive answer.  The "odds" are that it won't harm you, but that depends on your own genetics.

In the end its going to depend on how important it is to you to store your genetic material.

->-bleeped-<-girl15 (youtube username, i think it's correct) had to wait over 6 months for her sperm to come back, you may plan for 3 months, but it might not work that way.

Since you're pretty early on HRT you may not even be sterile yet, but just remember it might take longer than you think.

My face and body have been like they're now since I was 15. When I was about that age I even got my bone age checked because I grew pretty fast. They had fused or something, so I suppose I'm not going to be any taller at the very least. So, how fast can bones grow at the maximum in the face and body? I hate to keep asking but I haven't been able to find any information. I guess it's possible I'm not sterile, I still get those uncomfortable male things with what's down there, you know? Is that a "good" sign? Well, technically not a good sign but if it helps me bank any faster I'm all for it.
