1.2mg per day is a very small dosage??  3.6iu a day is a tiny bit more than a normal healthy kid would produce in a day.   Even for old men 3.6 iu a day doesn't do a lot when they produce less than 1iu a day naturally.   To get hgh working you need big dosages.  That is from a bodybuilding perspective.   I do not understand your sons condition.  Just trying to give you some information on what I know. Good luck

I think so, but they check the IGF-1 which is high 661 which is beyond the limit. My intuition tells me it is too low. I have also read about 3.6 iu daily. With that amount I don't think we can get good outcome. Thank you.

Hi,
What country are you in Is insurance paying for this treatment??
I was 165 before leg lengthing and I am now 178cm.   I have the same worries about my 2 boys being short when they are adults.   I have a family member who is a surgeon and we have discussed this between us and he believes a child who is nearly fully grown naturally will need double the normal hgh dosage so approximately 6 -7 iu per day split into 4 jabs. He is not a specialist in this field though.

Also, what brand of hgh are you using?  Not all hgh is made the same way. Some brands are better than others for different things

Edit Post

Using humatrope elly-Lilly. Had a hard time for the insurance to approve. Before we used nutropin Novonordisk?

I am in US. Insurance is paying. I have to fight for everything. He is also on Lupron each shot is $6000. Crazy prices. I have read the growth hormone has to be 3mg to help for pubertal kids. I don't know anymore.

Exactly that's why I don't understand why she is stressing. Both parents are well below average height and son is in the middle. It was very unlikely he was going to be average height.
