I just have a  few weird questions for anyone who's been off of T or knows anything thing of it...

If I were to take it..and stop for a few months, will my breast fill out again? I don't mind my boobs.
I just want to know if I had to get implants or something (lol).

Can I ask to have less T if I want to keep my androgynous features? (Is that even a thing?!)

Would it be smart to take female supplements while taking T to keep yourself androgynous.
( I just don't wanna look like I can punch a nun. Or scare myself from how manly I'll look.  ._.)

T doesn't shrink the breasts, echo_artist or some of us wouldn't need top at all. If you're willing to get implants to stop deflation, what does that mean for you?

Here's a question you should ask yourself about T: are you ready to look masculine or aren't you? Because going on T for a little while can be good if you want the voice to drop and to look more masculine, but the changes are permanent and you cannot choose what happens and doesn't happen unfortunately. You may not even get the results you want within a few months time.

I wouldn't recommend taking something that boosts estrogen while taking T, because you can take a small dose of T instead.  I don't think it'd be good for your emotional state while on HRT and I don't think it would be good for your levels, though I don't know exactly what it'd do. T doesn't just make you buff up suddenly (I look the same proportion I just lost my belly and gained shoulder width through exercise) 8 months in. You can gauge where you want to stop on a small dose of T and work on exercising to look more andro.

This.  You can't choose what changes you get, nor can you choose the speed or order at which you get them.  A low dose isn't necessarily going to give you less changes, you'll still get them they will just be slower occurring.  If you can't accept all of the possible changes and the potential speed at which they will happen, you shouldn't be going on T and should further discuss your reasons for wanting to go on T and search for ways you can change your appearance (dress, hair, mannerism, etc) that do not involve taking body altering hormones.

I don't know about also taking female hormones but I am currently taking a low dose gel to keep myself 'androgynous'. In fact, next time I see my doctor I want to ask what would happen if I have the exact levels of both estrogen and testosterone.

^^This.

It makes all the sense guys! There were just questions I wanted to know since I didn't find any on the internet.
I do want to transition, I was doing something stupid trying to force my body to transition and not knowing
how it was going to effect me, I scared myself.
I think since I'm doing it the healthy AND responsible way, it won't be was creepy for me.

I'm glad you are going to do it the responsible way. This isn't the kind of thing you want to play around with.

yeah, I learned that the hard way. 
It's something to tell to people that are in the same boat.
Can't wait till September to see how it'll go/
