There are a lot of people of all ages who say so ...

gaining up to an inch extra in height..
and gaining 1-2 shoe sizes :)


Also there might be bone development until the age of 25  :)

Up to 25? Dang I have to start T soon then! I'm turning 22 in June! Not much time left~

I started T at 30 and still gained about 1 shoe size, my wedding ring no longer fits, and about an inch in height. If you are under 25, you definitely have a better chance of gaining, though. Depending on genetics (as always ;))

I'm passed 25, but I would love to grow even just a little in height because I'm 5'1 and wear a 6.5 or 7 in shoes.

Shoes I went up a half size.

Many FTM people of all ages said they grew a bit.
It seems it has to do with muscles, and tissue between bones.

So it might be possible  :)

My ring fits me better now and I actually have difficulties to take it off sometimes. But I associate that with weight gain which was caused by T, though. It's not much change however, my fingers have always been pretty long and slender, everyone says I should play piano because of them.

Can't say much about shoe sizes, though. My size depends so much on the shoe itself. It can be anywhere from 38 to even 41 European sizes, hurr durr.

That's good to know! Because I honestly don't think I'll start t before I'm 25 but I would love to grow at least an inch. I'm 5'2 and always wanted to at least be 5'4 but an extra inch is better than nothing! Shoe size would give me more options which is good but it would take me out of kids sizes so I'd have to pay more which sucks lol

I think I'd look awkward if I was 6 foot and I don't know how I'd handle being that tall lol I would probably be super clumsy and super annoying about my new height like "Oh you can't reach that? ha! It's okay I got you" and then I'd probably trip over my new extra long legs lol

LOL, I'm 5'8" and I'd love to be 6'4" and built like a football player, but let's face it: everybody wants to be something they can't!  Heck, I'd like to have Matt Bomer's chiseled face, too, but life is life!  At least if what you want is to be 5'4" then you can use risers in shoes to achieve that if you want.

As for growing an inch, it is scientifically impossible to LITERALLY grow after a certain age because the growth plates of your bones are sealed.  Otherwise human beings would continue to grow forever!  However, I have found that I have gotten taller from working out.  I think that this is due to the fact that the muscles in my core and lower back are stronger, causing me to stand up straighter without any extra effort.  Posture has a lot to do with height, so if you want to see if you can be any taller, try stretching up as absolutely straight as you can then measure your height there.  Basically I now stand normally at that height when before I slumped over, making me almost an inch shorter than before.  I am only 4 months on T, and I really believe the reason I am "taller" now is due to my working out muscles that give me better posture rather than anything the T has done.  In other words, I believe that probably anyone who has weak back and abdominal muscles and imperfect posture could gain some height if they worked out those muscles to the point that standing really straight and tall was easy.  Maybe eventually T gives you a little muscle that could increase height a tiny bit, but my guess is that any major changes in height come from posture adjustment.  I know some guys also find they stand up straighter (and look taller) after chest surgery since they no longer have that weight dragging them down.

I can't say yet about the feet--I haven't been on T long enough--but I have heard lots of guys say they went up in shoe size!  I don't really need to since I am already an 8.5 to a 9 in men's shoes (US), but I really hope the hand thing is true as I have tiny hands...

If it were possible to do that I'd probably be like bambi at first and stumble and hit my head.

People keep saying part of the way I'll develop on T has to do with the way the men in my family are built. Most of them have a short wide bone structure (which I do as a female), but then they have a huge rib cage and a lot of upper body strength for such a short man. They don't look as strong as they are.

How long have you been on T? You'll probably still grow more if you're not done.

Unfortunately I am 30 years old--I will NOT grow anymore in height.  Actual growth means that your bones lengthen, and after a certain age (usually between 17 and 21) those bones are sealed off at the ends.  You can put as much testosterone (or anything else) in your body as you want, but your long bones cannot get longer.  Nor can they get wider.  If you are still pubescent then T can help you grow taller.  But as an adult this is impossible.  You can gain a little muscle and tissue that may help you stand taller, but it won't change your height more than an inch or so.  I know some guys on T swear they are taller, but go ahead and do a Google search on teenage growth.  After a certain age your bones cannot grow anymore no matter what you do.  I have known many a teen boy who wanted to be basketball stars who were very saddened when the doctors told them their growth plates were sealed and they would grow no more! 

Also, any man can have a lot of upper body strength--it's not really related to height but rather how much weight you lift to build the muscles.  Some muscles will come naturally but T will not bulk you up unless you lift weights.  Your shoulders will broaden, you will become stronger, and you will lose subcutaneous fat, but this is all in comparison to cis females.  Without lifting weights you will not look bulked up compared to other men from the T.  Strength comes from breaking down muscles and rebuilding them.  You may, however, have better genetics in this area and be able to gain muscle quicker and more easily if the guys in your family are muscular.

I'm not sure how old you are, but if you are over 21 then it is unlikely that your bone structure will change at all and over 25 it is pretty much impossible.  Really it is unlikely over the age of 18.  When people say that you will have traits of the males in your family they mean things like facial hair and metabolism.  FTM guys will always have their wider pelvises and smaller rib cage--those things aren't changes by T.  Your body structure will change but this will be due to muscle.  My hips seem smaller and my shoulders wider at 4 months on T, but what really happened is I lost fat on the hips and gained muscle on the shoulders--the bone structure is exactly the same and always will be.  My arms are bigger from muscles, but the bones will always be smaller than a cis male's.  I really wish T made your long bones grow as an adult, but it does not.  It, quite literally, is impossible.  And believe you me, plenty of cis men would be chugging T if it actually made you taller!  Also, even the feet growing is likely due to an increase in muscle.  Shoes have very minute differences from size to size and so it doesn't take much change for someone to need to go up a size in shoes.  The same thing happens to pregnant women when they gain weight during pregnancy and their feet swell--often even after birth their feet do not go down to the size they were before.

Started T at 22, am almost 25 now, and my shoe size went up 1-2 sizes. Not really sure, but. Have bigger feet now. I don't know if my hand have grown exactly, but they're definitely wider and thicker than they were pre-T.

I will definitely get back to body building as I was before and will continue to do so long after T- for the rest of my life. I am 26- so no bone growth. There are many cis men with smaller bones than I- my brother has a fine thin bone structure. Mine are wide,but short. I doubt bone size and height has anything to do with gender. Look at all the MTF that are ashamed to be over 6 feet tall!
