do your hands grow when you start testosterone?

[Tay]

My hands have grown, my ring no longer fits me. Also I've grown about an inch and most surprisingly my feet have grown by a little more than two sizes. Sucked because I had an awesome collection of hi tops!

Sweet stuff guys! Nice to know I MIGHT be able to grow an inch or two if I'm lucky Hope so.

But definetly want growth in my hand and feet.

Hey, how old were you when you started T?

[Tay]

Hey, sorry Silverfang, had no internet for a millenia...

I was 23 when I started T, have been on it for 10.5 months but noticed the change in my hands, feet and height within the first 4 months or so. I definitely didn't expect it. I actually asked if I would grow etc and was told that it would only happen if I were younger.

I was sad about the shoes but now I have small-average size guy feet, so that's happy.

[Silver]

Cool, I might have a chance then. What can I say, I'm pretty small.

What do you think the chances are at 38? i ve noticed that i ve actually grown an inch anyway and gone up a size in shoes but i m pre t. Was thinking that maybe theyre making shoes smaller these days

al james: My therapist says she often sees people begin to physically change before they begin hormone therapy. She says it's as if the decision to transition starts a reaction from the brain and therefore the body. Apparently many guys lose their menstrual cycle etc before they even get their first dose of T.

I started T in my forties, but my hands did grow a little. It's not really noticeable if you look at them. In fact, the only reason I know that they grew is that I used to easily slide my hand into certain drinking receptacles when I was washing the dishes, and now I have to jam my hand in and struggle to get it out again.

My feet are not bigger, as far as I can tell. In fact, for a little while, I thought they might have shrunk a little. I finally decided that they had simply stayed the same. My confusion was due to sizing anomalies in my new shoes.

That's interesting. It seems like I pass better once I was more certain of my identity, but that may just be my imagination.
