Bone structures grow on test

[J.D.]

This is a weird question but here goes anyway.

I have been on HRT for almost a year, my test level was down to 170 (normal said 270-1100). I had felt like shit for almost 2 years and read something about low test levels causing the same problems I was having. During those two years I went to visit my family, they told me I looked like I shrunk in height, obviously muscle mass too. I thought they must be nuts because I was only 27 at the time.

Now I am 29, have been on test cyp for almost a year, heres the thing, after about 7-8 months on it, my shoes didn't fit anynore. My running shoes went from 9.5 to a 10.5. My sketchers boots went from a 9 to a 9.5, ,my wife says I look like I got taller too.

Is it possible I hit a low test level before my natural growing cycle was finished?

Now can I be finishing the natural growing cycle?

Can test, change your facial structure?

I am not doing high dosages either, my last blood test showed me in the Mid 800 range. I have heard of bodybuilders changing bone structures at high levels but I am obviously just in the normal range now.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Not sure on that one bro. . .I don't know about the actual facial sturucture change but I like my "heavy" face more than my "skinny" one. . .I have more of a square jawed look when I am on and my chin is less prominent. . .
Anyone else have any research on this?

It's odd, but it's definitely possible, cause testosterone and estrogen boost GH and thus IGF1 level a lot, and are already by themselves anabolic in bone tissue, so if you are before his 30', when the growth cycle is not already closed in some male (be happy!) you can grow taller!
for example..my facial structure is more thick than before i used testo, cause my jaw and and the bone under the eyes (i don't know what's the word!)
are more prominent and really more cool, like arnold....but your experiece is more interesting than ever for me, cause i want to gain some cm in height, so if i take testo long enough, i have the chance to grow taller.....tell me what dosage you've taken of cypionate, i think that if i'll take for the next ...let's say 2 years enough testo, like 500mg week, my bone will definitely grow, i'm only 20 (birthay 8 nov)...yes my balls will tell me "fuck off" but i'll take Hcg every 2 or 3 months so they will not shrunk...
I not haved this idea now, like a mad that read a thing and go in a crazy plan, i've thinked that if i use testo long enough i can become taller some weeks ago, so i done reschearch and today i find this post, so i write to you.
sorry for the bad english!
ciao!

Hi Dekkart, if you are only 20, be careful with the test. I have read on some other places that men under 20 that used steroids for a long time have closed their growth plates. I didn't start HRT until I was 28. I had felt like shit for 2 years prior.

I am only replacing what my body doesn't have on it's own. A 20 year old male should have plenty to grow.

Be careful, you have many good years left, don't screw them up.

I don't want to preach but I wouldn't want to see a young guy screw up his life either.

By the way I didn't say I was taller, although I haven't checked. What I said was during the two years of feeling like shit, my family made comments that I looked like I shrunk in height, now my wife has commented I look taller. I have read that men in their later years shrink in height due to a low test level, which makes sense to what I am goin through.

What I do know is my feet have grown, my shoe size went up one complete size. Too bad it didn't increase the myth that goes with shoe size if you know what I mean ;).

Thank for the advice JD! I will make myself more educate about all that thing, before do something! Me neither want to fuck myself for a thing like that!
cya!

As closes growth plates. BUt at 21 your suppost be done growing so its unusual to grow at 27. I wish i could grow im only 5'7 and and 21.

One thing that could attribute to you looking taller or smaller is your posture. You said during the time your T levels were low you felt like shit. Most people when they are feeling down show it in their posture. Kind of slumped over look. Now that you are feeling better and I’m sure more full of yourself that to will show in your posture. This alone could explain what you are saying.

As for your feet that is a different story. I can tell you that my feet did grow a full size when I was around 25 or 26. Ho change in height but I went from a size 10-10 ½ to an 11- 11 ½ Wide. And I had never done any AS.
