[quote=Anonymous]PP again. I’ve done a lot of research on this too. My son was just diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency and delayed puberty. When you see an endocrinologist I would ask to make sure he doesn’t have actual growth hormone deficiency. Perhaps you can do blood work and a hand X-ray before your visit. If he does not but he is still Tanner stage 1 or even 2 at 15.5 I would push for the testosterone shots. There is no reason for him to suffer through this. Research shows they’re very safe and effective and sho in d not stunt his overall height attainment. FWIW my endocrinologist doesn’t want to do testosterone quite yet as he wants to give the growth hormone shots time to work but I think if my son hasn’t progressed by September or so, we will go that route. He is early stage 2 Tanner. [/quote]
