Hello! On a good day, I stand at 5”9, but I’ve begun to reflect on my situation and where I currently am, leading me to believe I may have hindered my growth. During my sophomore year, my growth stopped, coinciding with the first time I experienced stress severe enough to make me vomit due to my first breakup. I recall my voice being deeper and being taller than my peers, yet I watched as they surpassed me in height (even though I reside in Alabama, which is one of the tallest states on average next to Iowa). At 20, I feel like a little boy with a high-pitched voice. I underwent testing to understand my constant feelings and discovered I have low testosterone. I’ve just been prescribed TRT but haven’t started it yet. My mom mentioned that my dad had hypothyroidism when he was younger, which really upset me because I suspect I might have experienced that during school (my low test results showed my TSH was normal). Could low T have played a role in my shorter stature? Does hypothyroidism resolve on its own if left untreated (I’m trying to determine if I had it in high school and if it could have gone away naturally)? Will TRT help remedy my youthful characteristics?
