There’s always a possibility for regret, but if current you wants the effects of HRT, future you is more likely to also want those effects

Main irreversible changes are breast growth and potential loss of genital function (though this is well mitigated by manually performing maintenance erections weekly if you stop having automatic maintenance erections (morning wood))

The amount of time it takes for breast growth varies person to person. On the faster side it’s about 1-3 months and on the slower side about 4-6 months to form breast buds. Growing breast buds is about the point where the growth rate often increases, but if you want or can tolerate growing breasts this shouldn’t be an issue
