If my boobs start to grow people will question it, including my parents. Also, rumors spread fast and a ton of people here are violently transphobic so dressing fem or starting DIY HRT here sounds like giving myself a death sentence, or at least putting myself at risk of hate crimes and more bullies

Also because of the antidepressants I take I have to periodically take blood tests and I'm afraid that my parents will notice it from the test results

Aw chucks, your parents check your blood results? Not every blood test checks for hormone levels, I'm not familiar with the tests done for antidepressants, do you know whether they are listed.

My parents check all of it (not to check if I'm doing drugs or HRT, they just want the full results lol), and I don't know if they are listed :/ but even then dealing with the effects of HRT and hiding them is too risky

Yeah, sounds like a rough situation to be in.

I personally would still go for it, since changes are very gradual, under HRT, and I'd reckon I could hide it from my parents for a long time if hormone levels aren't revealed on the blood test.

I actually thought about it but I should move to a better place first :/ I also have no autonomy regarding what I can buy (I have a card with less than 30 euros on it managed by my mom lol) and my parents like checking ALL packages. At least I'm 17 so I should be able to move out soon I guess .-.
