I started HRT in 2004 on a low dose. In my 13 yrs on hormones, I've seen things change for the better and for the worse, depending on my lifestyle and what hormones I was taking and how much. I recently added Estrogel and my breasts started growing again...things don't stop at the two year mark, trust me! Changes never stop and keep on happening...and more so, when we modify what and how much hormones we are taking.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005

Thanks everyone for taking time to post all this valuable information. My main concern was how it would affect my full transition, with will happen in about 4 years. I'm basically using the time to prepare. This doesn't seem like something to rush. I'm having laser done now and then will move on to electrolysis.

I was looking into low dose more as a stop gap to hold me over till full transition. My dysphoria is there but not as bad as some l have read about. I have a plan and I'm working the plan and as long as I'm moving forward I'm ok.
I just mainly was looking at low dose to stop the "negative" affects it having on my slow progress. But I was worried low dose may later impact the results of full transition i.e. breast growth etc. The main thing right now is that I have to get the T out.
