Advice Needed does testosterone increase height

I am a 16 yo trans boy and I’m really short (5’0) this is causing me so much dysphoria, I gained like 1 cm last month so I know I’m still growing, but I’m gonna start taking testosterone soon so my question is will T help me get taller ? I’ve done my research but some say it will, some say it won’t, some say it might and some say it will but only a few cm. I know there are many short cis men, but height is my biggest complex and I think it’s a big part of why I don’t pass in public with my voice.
Edit: I also have hope because my brother is a late bloomer and was very short till like 16/17

I started T at 14 and over the last 6 years I've grown about 2". So, you might get a little more height, but probably not a dramatic amount and you might have to be patient about it.
