[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-Forgot to mention, his bone age as evidenced by a hand X-ray is about 15 months behind his chronological age and his dentist says his dental age appears to be 24-30 months behind.[/quote] DS was 5'3" at 15. He had delayed puberty (runs in the family). At almost 18, he's a bit over 5'10", and the doctor said he is still on the upward trajectory of growth. He'll probably reach 6'. It doesn't seem like he needs growth hormones. His growth is just delayed. He'll get there. FWIW, my DD 14.5, hasn't started her period yet. Pediatrician isn't concerned until 15.5. Again, delayed puberty runs in the family. Does late puberty run in your family?[/quote]
