[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't really sound like you need to aggressively treat her with HGH shots at this point. I would wait and see and discuss with your doctor.[/quote] This is not good advice for an 11 year old girl who is only 4'1".[/quote] Is this OP with your DD's height and age? If I am reading this right she is around 10 percentile in height or [b]am I wrong[/b]? How much bone delay does she have? Our DS's endo decided that he didn't need growth hormone when he was 13 and below 1 percentile in height and weight, as his hormone levels came back ok and he had over 2 year bone age delay. He grew around 16 year old. So, I think as you have a good endo probably, that Dr will do the best course of action given your and your DH's being tall.[/quote] Yes. 4'1" = 49 inches. The third percentile on the CDC growth charts for a girl at age 11 is about 51 inches. The 10th percentile is 53 inches.[/quote]
