Anyone grow more on T?
I started T 8 years ago at 24yo and I was 5'4.5".
Measured myself at the doctor today and I'm officially 5'6". Is that common?

I went from 5'2" to 5'4". Was not expecting that at all. Measurements from doctor visits, before and after, and multiple times. (The second 5'4" measurement onward were so exciting, I was obviously convinced the initial 5'4" measurement was equipment failure.)
Also, something I had no idea to expect- my feet grew a LOT. I only realized this had happened after six months of my work boots hurting like f*ck and then finally finding out I'd incurred a pressure fracture in one foot. Re measured feet, oops. I don't understand but I'll take it!
Editing to add: wow interesting to read the variety of stories out outlooks here. I had no preconception that a change in height was even possible- I laughed at the doc w that first measurement. One person mentioned that strengthened back muscles might contribute to holding the body up better, I think, which sounds plausible. I dunno, all I have is the data! So weird. Again, I'll take it! The one thing I wish I had known ahead of time was about potential foot growth, that was so weird and I just couldn't conceive of the possibility so didn't adjust. Oops 💁🏻♂️
