I have been on HRT for about 5 months and 4 days, as of today. I thought this was what I wanted but this sterility thing has me worried. Is it too late to stop and store sperm?

I have tried stopping several times already, unsuccessfully. What should I do? I have not self medicated, by the way. My doctor even said like 2 months ago, that I was way too young (23) to have any problems with sterility if I decided to quit.

I know it is different with each person, but what are my odds, that quitting now would give me to save my sperm temporarily?

If you think psychologically you could handle it, you might want to detransition and see if you could store some sperm. It might be wise to see a therapist during this time as it could possibly cause you some issues.

Good luck. I hope you get the answers you want.

You can stop, it take like half a year to return back as it was
I also do it to store sperm
And
Never more
yuck

Oh wow, I can't go half a year off of it. I can't even make it an entire week. It's been a battle, for sure. I am miserable off it, but I panic when I am back on, and wanting kinds.

I never had this issue, I realized I was going to have to make sacrifices. I love kids but I have accepted that I will never have a hand in making one. Not to mention I am only into men and frozen sperm wouldn't do me much good with a guy anyways 

I consider myself an infertile woman. Perhaps that is what you might want to think about. What do you want? To be a fertile man or a infertile woman?

My problem is I always end up feeling guilty over this, and I never trust my own decisions, when it comes to things like that. I keep telling myself that maybe I don't really want this, and power through the day without it. Then- I feel awful because I'm making no progress this way.

At my happiest I love going through with this, but then I start to think of all my family that might be lost, as well as not being able to have my own.

Somedays it is easy to get past, but other days I look in the mirror and hate what I see. So I rationalize it, and say I'll never look like a girl anyway.

I feel I need to edit this a little:

I'm not unhappy with the decision that was made, I just never trust myself. I've never been the type to do things on my own, and when I hadto make an important decision I needed help. This is one of those things, I am afraid that this isn't what I need, even though I want it so badly. Like, I just don't trust my decisions. I hope it doesn't make me less of a girl.

Also my appearances play an important role in this, I am so large I am afraid I will end up looking obvious.

unless your infertile? why would you have to go off the HRT to store sperm? they cant take a sample as is?  (forgive my lack of knowledge in this area. ive been infertile for years)

I... never thought of that. I'll schedule an appointment asap.
