I didn't see much change in that area. After all we are not talking about growth hormones.

It's hard to say.
Once you are an adult you accept your height as something that never changes.
I always thought of myself as 6'0"
My doctor tells me that I'm 5'9-1/2"
It's hard to say if it's age or hormones.

Like Renate, I assumed I stayed the same height while an adult. I lost 3/4 inch after taking hormones for six months, but the previous time I measured myself was about 20 years ago. So what does that mean? ???

No.....bones don't shrink. However, I was 5' 8" pre-transition, and now, years later, I'm 5'6". I dunno where it went, but it makes me smile nonetheless.
