On May 9th, I posted this topic:
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,188366.msg1675223.html#msg1675223Yesterday, I came back from my endo. I will be on T in two weeks so yay for that!
But he told me some bad news.. He told me that I won't be growing anymore. That I had my growth spurt already and that you basically stop growing after your first monthly - which is at age 11 for me. First time -ever- hearing that..
To be honest, I don't believe him. I just.. I just can't! My mom doesn't believe him either. Neither does my therapist. I told my therapist and he basically told me he doesn't believe that and that I would still grow. He has always said that I would "shoot up". I believe him more - not only because I want to believe him - but because he's going for his doctors, and that he knows more things that have newer information. He knows a lot of psychology, blah blah..
My endo said that I was done growing as if he knew 100%. But, I asked my female friend and she told me that she had her growth spurt -after- her first monthly.
Since I was still in female puberty, since the hormone blockers, could T make me taller? I doubt my growth plates are fused, so can/would I still grow? I'm not even mentally developed (that's a fact), so I don't think I'm done with puberty.
From what I've read, I've read that if you want to know how tall you would be when your an adult - just look at your mom (for FTMs and females).. My mom is 5'6. That's a 5 inch difference!
I feel like my endo is wrong, he acts like he knows everything. He's blunt and the first visit - he was ignorant and didn't use my proper pronouns and name.
Can/would I grow taller since I was still in puberty? I will still be taking hormone blockers with T for around 2 more years so...
(Edit) Also, I'm 99.9999...% sure that last year, I was 5'0. This year, I'm 5'1(possibly and a half).. I feel like I haven't been growing because of the hormone blockers since there's no hormones in my body to help me grow taller.
Also (again) I still have baby fat, if it makes a difference. I know because I have gone to the gym and I can't lose any weight, all I can gain is muscle.
My mom just told me that when she had her first monthly, she was for sure not 5'6.
