If your shrinking, you need to make a doctors appointment. Its not from hormones you might be taking.
I'm quite sure I didn't shrink at all. Now after 19 years I've gone down maybe 1 or 2 cm, but that is due to age. 171 cm 20 years ago, 170 now.
I've shrunk from 6'4" to 6'1half. Fat from the soles of your feet disappears on HRT
I've lost 1.5-2" in a few months.
My opinion is that the relaxed position of your body changes.
I can with great effort stretch to my original height, but it's like I'm stretching an elastic band, if that makes sense, and as soon as I stop making the effort I go back to the smaller height.
2 inches.
I was 5'5 3/4" ... I'm just a hair under 5'3" now...
I wish I could drop a few inches. being 6'1 does kind of bother me and adds to the passing issues I have.
I went from 191 to 185 cm.
about half to one inch.
5'9.5" to 5'8"! Hope it continues!
At 6'5, I can only hope I shrink lol. Anyone want an inch or two??? I'll gladly donate
Shrinking would be nice. I'm 5'10" and wouldn't mind being a bit shorter. *fingers crossed*
Crap! I'm only 5'2-3"?ish I don't want to shrink... I'm already short as is.
I went from 5'10 to 5'9 I think. I'm not sure because I don't know how's that possible though.
I dodn't think I actually grew. I improved my posture because I kind of slouched to hide my chest. Now, I put my breasts right out there in front. Measured 1" taller. I think it's all about posture for height. However, my shoe size has decreased.

I grew three quarters of an inch.
lol GROWING is good, shrinking comes from AGE and tall slender ladies (with hair UP) are
GREATEST (which, in this era of GMO junk food, ya don't see very often now-a-days )!!!

How much did you shrink on HRT??
I totally never, never believed people actually shrunk on HRT, then a couple weeks ago I had my bf measure me and I was 5'4 and 1/3" or so tall. I had constantly measured at 5'5 before then... like ever since I was 13, every time, and I'm 21 now.
Now I measured again and I'm a little below 5'4"... ::)
So how much more would you expect to shrink if this were you? I hope it will stop at like 5'3.
Thanks :)
Did you have much upper body muscle? When I was supposed to go into Coast Guard, they were worried after basic training my muscles between my ribs would make me grow to tall. So, I think maybe it is muscle loss between your ribs. Do your ribs seem closer together?
About .5 inch so far.

That's prob the cause in alot of instances. Good theory.
All I can say is that I hope this won't be a myth for me. Sadly, I'm like 5'11. It would be nice to get to wear heels without feeling like a giant.
Same exact height!
I also didn't believe that it was possible, and then suddenly at my last doctor's appointment I measured in at 6' 0.5" after an entire adult life of being 6' 2". Totally not complaining!
I'm usually skeptical of stuff like this, but my personal experience seems to indicate that height loss is a thing. I used to be 5'4"... and now I'm 5'2".
Not sure how I feel about this.
I thought I shrunk a little but no. I am 5'6. Same height I have been since forever. I would rather grow. 5'7 seems good.
A 1/2" gain! Unusual, but with the overly high T levels during my adulthood shutting down the normal male muscle mass gain and then gaining it with bone mass gain as well on HRT. Standing up straighter due to more confidence and better self-esteem helped here as well. This has a downside. I am more susceptable to a lower vitamin D levels than others as evidenced with severe non-diabetic neuropathy pain in my feet that had me virtually bedridden this past winter and partially bedridden in the record breaking heat of last July. I only went out to shop or to shovel snow. I am just recovering from this. The sun finally came out and I slowly managed to hand dig up my 1400 sq ft garden area last month.
Also just being back from a trip to the northwest coast to visit lost cousins was a good tonic here as well. I am not complaining here as well. Getting some things that you never had is a treat for this 60 year old!

OMG I hope I shrink an inch or two (as long as it is not a health issue". I would feel much more comfortable being 5'10" instead of 6'.
I have dropped at least an inch but we are talking from age 21 until 50 and I do not know whether to attribute this to HRT or age? easy to do it to either :) I am just under 5' 4" now
Are there any FTM who report growing from testosterone!? Including skull, hands and feet of course?
I kid myself about being "too tall Tessa." At 5'11+ I would also love to come down from the high heel heights but HRT wait and see has been working nicely so far. Friends say I look thinner. I am at the same weight but it is more variable than in the past. Another boyfriend is more direct about considering my "stature" to be diminished by being girly but that is his way subjective response;-)
Here's to a great view!

It is a certain amount of testosterone in a growing male that signals the stoppage of growth by signaling the capping of the bones. Eunuchs castrated before onset of puberty will be excessively tall as shown in human history. It is HGH that causes growth and the other hormones do signal the stoppage of growth after certain body developments are met. FtM's starting before onset of puberty or on puberty blockers will be small, the same with MtF's at that age.
