Ring size on T?

[Konnor]

I've heard some guys say their fingers/hands change shape or get bigger on T. My questionis, have any of you changed ring size after starting T or being on it for a while?

I start next month and need to get my wedding ring sized by next August, so I wondered if I should hold off and see if anything changes.

I had heard this, too, and honestly didn't believe it - I assumed that if it happened, it was due to perhaps gaining weight or muscle, but not just "being on T".

It's hard to tell with mine - I did have to buy a larger ring size (been on T for 18 months) the last ring I bought, but sometimes I think that the change in size may be due to the weather being either hot or cold so not really being due to T.

It could be just gaining weight or muscle, like Kreuzfidel said, but my ring fits better now than it did pre-T, in other words I had very skinny fingers (fine, still have) but they've started to fill up, so to speak.

Remember that T is a steroid and steroids can and do make people swollen. I can't wear my wedding ring anymore because it cuts into my finger and I can barely get it past my knuckle when trying to put it on. It's a titanium ring and I'm hoping I can find someone to shave it down to a size bigger since I love the rubies set in it.

  It depends on the age starting on T.  The bones in the palm of the hand are the last to ossify from cartilage.  The age that this occurs is from 26-28 years.  The bone length and thickness in the fingers (phalanges) tend to follow the bone set in the palm.  Males set earlier, it was a test back in WWII if a recruit was under age, from the X-rays taken during the enlistment physical.  Ring size may change with age as well.  FtMs under 18 will more notice this change.  It also depends on your genetics.  I know a few fat guys with thin fingers.

If you lose weight it'll change. Or if you take up video games and get a lot of finger muscles. It also depends on the type of ring. Apparently if your ring is 6mm(?) or over, you should be getting a ring size bigger anyway.

I have always found ring size to follow shoe size. When my feet selld and I needed a larger shoe to accomadate, so did my ring size. Size 19 shoes and size 10 ring. When the swelling went down, same thing.

My ring size hasn't increased but I've found I haven't gained much muscle despite doing my best to =\
My hands have masculinised and I do have fairly fat fingers but they are the same thickness as pre T
