[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. We are going through something similar with my DD. We've been to two pediatric endocrinologists since last summer for consults, after starting with our ped. Both endos said that puberty is happening younger and younger and that ages 6-8 isn't even consider 'early' puberty anymore based on the number of children going through it. Signs of puberty before the age of 8 are still flagged for further testing to ensure the signs are related to an underlying condition causing puberty. I highly recommend talking to your ped then seeing a pediatric endo. They'll do bloodwork, a bone age scan (x ray of wrist), exam, talk to your child and you. We had to go an hour away to get an appointment with a ped end within a month of our first conversation with our ped but then had a follow up with a provider closer to our home - all that to say I wouldn't wait to get in the queue. Our providers were through the Hopkins network and both were great. Good luck![/quote]
