However, he did take more blood from my son to re-check all his levels. These are more thorough and we will not have them back for a couple of weeks. We have usually stayed on the same growth curve, but he hopped up a couple of years ago per pedis charts so endo was confused about that, but I will update everyone.

OP I've posted before about our oldest, almost 21 now. In early 2020 (he was 16) he was a couple of years off per his bone scan. I'm 5'5" and he was shorter than me and just young looking. Pediatrician referred us to our local children's hospital/endo specialist. They said something similar, he's in the normal range on the Tanner scale just on the lower side. So there was no reason for them to suggest growth hormones etc. We all know how the rest of 2020 worked. When he went back in person school, he was 5'10" and has continued to grow in college. I think he's 6'1" and not done, just a super late bloomer. He still has a baby face and rarely has to shave.

We are 12.5 and 4'9 as of today. We are for sure in Tanner Stage 2 according to the beads and bone age was only read about 6 months behind. I would to see him sprout up like yours did but if he doesn't then that's okay too. My people are short on my side, so if he doesn't well then that's just how God intended.

Tanner 2 at age 12.5 is pretty normal. The growth spurt comes a little bit later usually (probably in a year or 2).

NP here. My son was early stage 2 at his 13th check up and his growth has taken off between then and turning 14 (like probably 5-6” in the last 14 months).

He said he was a number 5 on the teste beads and he does have some darker curly hairs in the pubic region. Wouldn't that be more so Tanner 3? I hope not, but when I look at the descriptions on wiki that's what it says.

Nevermind, doc said he is Tanner 2 and bone age is aged 12.
