There's a lot that you're not sharing.

If you are a biological female, then there's only two reasons I can see to explain HRT (that's hormone replacement therapy). One would be an oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries), which would only be the case if they were cancerous. The second is menopause.

It's entirely possible that you are on low doses of estrogen to protect you from other cancers forming. (Estradiol has been linked to increase risk of breast cancer.)

Note also that if you've had a mastectomy, then the tissues that whose growth would be stimulated by estrogen are no longer present, and consequently the breast will not grow.

If you are postmenopausal, then the body will take longer to respond to HRT as well. You're not likely to get the figure you had when you were younger off hormones alone.

If you are a biological male undergoing sex reassignment, then the issue's a bit more complex. Depending on the age you start HRT, the results will vary. Generally, though, the later in life you start HRT, the less satisfactory the results and the longer it will take to get them. If a teenager or a twentysomething starts HRT, the results will be very satisfying; the figure will look right, breast tissue responds well, etc. The later one starts, the lower quality the results.

In addition, if levels are too low and unmonitored, they may stimulate testicular activity and increase testosterone levels.

In the end, though, only your endocrinologist can tell you the reasons that your current HRT battery isn't working

I'm confused about WHY you were on the hormones? do you have a congenital defect that keeps your body from producing the hormones on it's own? or have had your ovaries removed??

unfortunately there's only so many hormones in the female body...talk to your doctor - or a different doctor (second opinion) to see if perhaps it could be helped by changing the dosages you are receiving.

Are you female?
Why not do the right thing and go back to the doctor?
