It is my understanding that after stopping NBE/HRT that all changes will revert with the exception of breast tissue growth and decreased fertility. You lose some breast volume, or breast deflation, when fat re-shifting occurs.
This is why some suggest to use a sperm bank to ensure your future fertility availability, if you plan to pursue HRT. It is my understanding that a member of this board fathered a child while on PM, but I believe that was at a reduced dosage and not a "transition dose".
My personal experience in this area is that I ceased ejaculation around the 18th month mark of taking PM/HRT. I have read if people recovering this ability after ceasing NBE/HRT, but as far as I know this is a roll of the dice.
This is where I wish Lotus could chime in, because of her extensive knowledge about how NBE/HRT affects male vs female fat cells, as I am not an expert. My comment above is based on numerous search results that generally agree on that subject.
As far as the "mood swings" associated with NBE/HRT, I don't have any. If anything else, I'm a much more calmer person now. As far as the so-called crying bouts I've read about before, I've only experienced this twice briefly, and it was when I was on PM. I'm a much much happier person now on HRT.
One thing I've noticed that the longer I've been on HRT, the easier I get personally intimidated around groups of straight men, (at a bar, sporting event or places where Dudes congregate). That's a weird one to accept.
Another "permanent" change that I am also unsure of reversing, is the so-called "pelvic tilt". Mine kicked-in at the 18th month mark on PM, and I lost two inches in height. That realization was a gut punch at first, but one that I've since embraced.
I would assume that it would reverse, but supposedly all these reversible changes will take just as long or longer to reverse, than the changes took to take place in the first place.
As always, ymmv, take Internet forum advice with a grain of salt, etc etc. You can always do a keyword search in the science threads on this website. At the bottom of each thread on this site is a keyword search function.
Best of Luck to You.
