[quote=Anonymous]DS was in the same situation and approximately same timing as your DS. We did a a few bone age scans (a year apart) and the Endo ran bloodwork coupled with the first scan. Everything pointed to very late bloomer. Bones were measuring approximately 2 years younger than age for both scans. DS is now 15.5 and absolutely hit noticeable puberty (appetite, etc) around 15th birthday. His growth is on the move. We didn’t end up doing any kick start or hormones and trusted the bone scans and plenty of room to grow. It wasn’t fun for DS who struggled with being short compared to the majority of his classmates but I suspect they’ve all plateaued and he will end up shooting past them. His dad and myself are tall, endo projected DS height over 6’.[/quote]
