Does the speed of HRT rely on your initial puberty?

Basically do you think that the earlier/faster you progressed during puberty, the faster your changes on testosterone will come? I hit puberty super earlier and very aggressively unfortunately. Developing my chest in around year 3-4 and terrified; not knowing why. Started my cycle late year 4. I also started school a year earlier so I was about 9. Will this be a blessing or a curse when I start T? Or will it not matter at all?

I started female puberty at 9 (cycles and chest development, the whole deal). I don't think it's had any effect on how quick T is working for me. I'm basically at 3 years  (3 years on, one year off, now 3 months back on) and I had some changes but not very quickly. Of course,  my dose was a bit off since I was doing my transition overseas from my doctor. I've heard it can take 5+ years on average to get the changes.

a lot of changes on t will depend on your genetics. if body hair grows thick and quickly in your family, it will likely do so for you not too long after starting t. if you genetics aren't very hairy for example (both my mother and father don't have much body hair, and i physically resemble my father most) i first grew a small stache but i didn't start having beard hair until last summer or so which would have been my 2 year mark on testosterone. changes in voice usually happen within the first few months but the amount of change/how deep your voice gets will also depend on genetics. most if not all changes are generic based, whichever masculine traits you have in your family line will come quicker to you than others.

I don't think so. My initial puberty dragged from age 9-20. This one is speeding along nicely.

Mine didn't start until I was 17 and it was slow after that. Honestly I think the stress of life at home delayed everything.

Makes me wonder if stressed while on T... will it not do the same thing. I doubt it because natural puberty depends on internal organs being stimulated to do their job and you're injecting or applying T methodically so there's no chance of the body being too stressed to make enough T. Does make me curious though.
