Stopping and starting HRT in the past

[mako9802]

I will keep this brief.  In the past I have taken hormones obtained from off the internet at multiple times during my life, Spironolactone) etc..in my late teens and early to mid twenties and I did see development and progress during those times the main reason I stopped was because they are way to expensive to maintain. I am now 34 and have now have obtained legit  HRT through Planned Parenthood   via my health insurance and have been on it since mid September of last year, but have been on a full dose via IM estradiol, progesterone and of course spiro since January of this year, my question is can taking them in the way I have in the past hinder to a degree my ultimate progress now? Has anyone heard of that really making a impact one way or the other?  I don't think it does but I would like to  hear from others.

Interesting question and if I understand correctly your wondering if stopping HRT for a time and then starting again will prevent or at least slow development now. I was quite worried myself, I had been on high levels of Premerin and progesterone for 6 months many years ago. I restarted again this year and had about convinced myself that since I stopped before I had kinda set in stone what I would get. My tiny breasts would remain tiny breasts. Didn't happen though, on low dose this time and breast development has been sooner & faster than the first time much to my delight.

I was on prescribed HRT for years and figured I had reached my full growth potential. I then went off of them for about 10 years and I have been back on them for just over a year. My primary goal was to lose belly fat and put a little facial fat on that I had lost. Both of those happened in a surprisingly short period of time and my boobs have grown beyond what they were before. I see no indication that past hormone usage inhibits anything and instead, it may prime the body for additional growth. The next year or two may have some additional growth taking place so I am sitting back and enjoying the ride.
