So, no, not that shrinkage  ;)...  I've read that some people experience a loss in height and I was wondering what others experiences with that were.  I know bones don't shrink but are there any other surprising body parts that have gotten smaller (such as feet) due to HRT?

It's one thing to read about this in a clinical publication but I'd like to hear directly from those going through it.  Thanks!

I haven't started HRT yet, but I hope this isn't a major thing.  I'm barely 5'2 as a guy, so I'm already short enough!!!

Wow! Any health issues involved? How long did that take? Quite impressive. Only way that would happen here is if I cut off my legs. :-/

Wow!  How does that happen?  I mean 8 inches is a lot to just disappear.  Did you have a doctor following up with that?

I have no idea.  I just started feeling slightly shorter next to my coworker who is a tall female as well at 5'11 and so I measured myself and I had shrunk.  I noticed my shoes being too big after about 10 months on hrt.  It was very gradual.

I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

I am only 4 months 3 weeks on HRT, so still a little early for any significant changes like that to occur, but I have read multiple cases where Transwomen have gotten shorter and lost shoe sizes.  I don't really understand how this is possible, and I sure wish it would happen to me, because I am 6'1" and wear a size 12 mens shoe.  It is very dysphoria agravating to me to look down at my huge manly feet, and feeling like I am towering over all of the girls around me.  It sucks!  So I am greatly looking forward to any potential "shrinkage".  But definitely not expecting it.

I would be worried if I shrunk...osteoporosis.

I hope to lose an inch or two as well!  I'm 6'2".

To combat the feeling of towering over people, I usually prefer to sit down when talking to others in groups.

I gained 1/4 of an inch.

I have no idea how I managed to screw that up.
