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

5'9 now no change yet

I lost 2 inches in height almost immediately.

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?

I keep waiting for my bones to shrink, but alas.. HRT doesn't do that!!!!  Maybe old age will

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.
