Hi, I'm 15 and FtM.
I want to grow taller, and I'm going to start T this year (I'll turn 16 mid-next year). I started puberty around 11 I think? Since estrogen is responsible for closing growth plates in cisgirls, if I start taking estrogen blockers and testosterone around the same time, or blocker first, whichever is better, will I grow taller?
My father is about 183 and my mother is about 158. I'm 163cm (6'4") right now and I really want to be at least 170cm (5'7").
I'm average weight and I exercise for at least an hour everyday and intensively for hours 4-5 times a week (sports). I eat healthy and get lots of calcium, protein (naturally occuring and protein shakes), and take vitamin supplements.
Thank you!

Hi kal,
Further growth depends on whether or not your growth plates have fused. For most people this doesn't occur until age 18-25, so starting so young should help you. Genetics will play a big part in it though, so no one can say for sure just how tall you could potentially get.
