I always thought that boys have time to grow until 17-18. That is why I took my son to endo at 14. I think I am at the border where the plates are closing.I keep struggling for a year to keep it open. It is a day to day struggle not seeing any results.
Quote from: ReadRothbard on January 16, 2015, 04:58:29 AMSame thing sorta happened to me. I remember being measured when I was 12 years old at 5'6. I was so excited; i was finally the height of my mother! I though to myself "wow, I can't wait until I am 6'0, or even 6'3"! But, I stopped growing. I didn't grow at all after that. I tried talking to my mother, but by the time she started caring, my growth plates were already closed. Now, here I am, at 5'6.5", with my growth stunted.
That must be what she has also. Her development started at around 8 or 9. Was there a cause for your precocious puberty that could be determined?
Definition
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Precocious puberty is when a child's body begins changing into that of an adult (puberty) too soon. Puberty that begins before age 8 in girls and before age 9 in boys is considered precocious puberty.
Puberty includes rapid growth of bones and muscles, changes in body shape and size, and development of the body's ability to reproduce.
The cause of precocious puberty often can't be found. Rarely, certain conditions, such as infections, hormone disorders, tumors, brain abnormalities or injuries, may cause precocious puberty. Treatment for precocious puberty typically includes medication to delay further development

It's probably too late for anything that can be done for my daughter now. I will still take her to be checked and have all the tests done.
I caught my daughter early. That is why I took my son also for a checkup. I am so glad I saved my daughter at least otherwise she would not even be 5.0 She is on Lupron and growth hormone

How long has your daughter been on these drugs and about what age did you begin them?
One year on Lupron. She just started GH. She started at 10. She is turning 11 in couple of days.
