[quote=Anonymous]Somewhat similar story. My son fell on the chart thojfh - went from 90th percentile in height at around age 11 to 30th at 14. And no puberty. I was pretty pushy and we saw an endo and did the growth hormone stim test when he didn’t grow much in six months and voila - he was in fact growth hormone deficient. He’s been treated for the last two months and looks older and has grown almost an inch (he was growing 1-2 inches a year previously, not enough for a boy of that age). He is still just barely Tanner stage 2 though. We will see if endo wants to do testosterone soon since he is almost 15. My understanding is that a low dose of testosterone to jump start puberty is ok if there’s nothing going on at age 14. [/quote]
