Hiya guys

i was wondering if anyone could help me, i'm transgender and seriously considering HRT i'm FTM, 20 years old, but i'm extreamly short for my age (about 5'1), and i was wondering i know HRT is like a second puberty would it give me a growth spurt? or help with my growth at all?, i would just be really self concious about being a really short guy rolleyes

    Hello alex. Unfortunately it's highly unlikely HRT will help you grow taller. In fact I know it won't. Really sorry.

    As far as I know unfortunately not. There are plenty of short women though, if not in the UK, go to the South of Italy!

    I am not sure if it would but you should consider Growth Hormone. That may have better chance.
