I just need some feedback from people's experiences about the growth. My son is 15.
A year ago he started his puberty and the bone age jumped to 17.I am trying to keep his growth plates open.He is on Lupron to slow down the puberty. I am giving him the aromatase inhibitors also. He is on Growth hormone since he is also deficient in that.He is 5.3''.I have done this since June. Have only seen 1/2 inch growth. I am so frustrated. Any experience from others? I just need to know my next step.I am already thinking about LLP.
I am 5.2 and 1/4. Father is 5.5"
He is on GHR capsules. I am also giving calcium d3.Vitamin B complex.
If the growth plates are open, I would wait. Just very frustrating. He does not understand now, but I have always have suffered from being short. 
Thank you. I would add the sprints.
Maybe the beginning !!! 
We are already on the growth hormone.Also medication to suppress all the sex hormones. On top I am giving him aromatase inhibitors. We are doing blood test every 3 months. Growth plates on knees are open, hands are closings, falanges closed.
It seems proportionate. I will check the femurs and tibias.
Doctor is on top. Don't worry. Growth hormone cannot be increased because of IGF-1 being high. It is dangerous.I am just frustrated him not growing further with all my efforts. But I will check the proportions. I think his trunk is longer than the legs.
I am doing injections 1.2mg under the skin.
