Im two months on T, and im wondering if i will grow at all. Currently im 5'4" and 16. I'm wondering if because of my age i might still grow more?What age did you stop growing naturally? Did T make you taller?

I stopped growing when I was about 12, so I highly doubt T will do anything for me.

I stopped growing around 16 or 17. I'm 5'1, by the way.

I'm about to turn 20 in a couple of months, so I doubt T is going to make me grow an inch or two. But even then, that kind of boost isn't going to do much for someone of my stature anyway. The good news is, I don't have to worry about buying bigger shirts if I'm not going to grow.

I stopped growing about 7th or 8th grade, but I did actually gain a few inches after starting T. I was 5' or 5'1" for the entirety of high school, I started T right after I turned 18, and now at over a year on T, I am in between 5'3" and 5'4"

It varies greatly by person, but it is possible that you can grow into your twenties. It does not mean you will, but it is possible.

I did grow into my twenties, and honestly, I though everybody does.
Sure, you don't grow so fast anymore after a certain age - the process goes way slower. Anyhow, I did grow for a good while, I think stopped growing around 19 or 20 (no testosterone).

I'm 5,10 but I'm Dutch (we're the tallest people around...)...

I think there's a good chance you might still grow.

QuoteI'm 5,10 but I'm Dutch (we're the tallest people around...)..

I hate that....I'm Dutch too, but guess who literally got the short stick in life? I'm only 155 cm...I live in the UK now and people have a more acceptable average height here, so that helps :P

As far as growing goes....I always thought I was 153 cm. I measured a couple of weeks ago and I'm actually 155. It either means I grew (I'm 28...) or I have always measured it wrong (which I doubt, as I have measured it many times. Being so short, every cm counts). So yeah, not sure what happened, or if T has got anything to do with it, but it might be possible for some?

I think I stopped growing at around 15-16. When I was a baby, I was predicted to grow to be like 180cm based on how I had grown up to that point and how tall my family is. Now I'd like to know where the missing 15cm are because I'm ~165cm. :P

I'm having a health check-up on Oct 22nd so maybe I'll get an accurate measurement then. :D

I think I stopped growing around 18 and landed on 176 cm, which is acceptable but of course it would be nice to grow a little on T too, but I don't think that will happen. :P

Yeah, me too... I'm 5'2.5'' (that half inch counts).

I'm currently 16 and haven't grown for 3-4 years, so I'm probably stuck at 4'6" forever.

I actually had a conversation with the endocrinologist about younger guys starting T and growing. She said that it would actually quicken the closing of the epiphyseal plates. Meaning you míght boost a growing spurt but at the same time it will shorten the growing time you still have left. Therefor you shouldn't hope for it and just wait to see what happens.

That said, I think I stopped growing around 13/14 and I'm about 5'4".

For most females once they have their period established they stop growing much taller. So depending when this happened has alot to do with the age when they reaches their maximum height. From what I have heard and read starting t does result in a little increase in height so there is hope when you start t.

I grew slowly up until about age 22 or 23...started T at age 40, and have not gotten any taller, but my feet did grow a size.

I come from a long line of short people. I'm 4'10"-4'11", and I would have loved to embrace a pipe dream that I'd get to see 5'2".

I think I stopped growing at 14, I'm 174cm which is taller than my parents but it's just my older brothers are like 2 meters tall and it is disheartening.

I had two growth spurts, one around the age of 11 or 12, and another around 15-16, judging by the marks on the doorframe of my old room. I also was very late with puberty compared to all the other females in the family. Mine happened around age 17, theirs all around 12-13. But I stopped growing around 17.
