[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op Here! Well, we went to endocrinologist today and the bone scan isn't that far behind. He is only about 6 months behind, but he is in puberty Tanner 2 according to the beads. However, he did take more blood from my son to re-check all his levels. These are more thorough and we will not have them back for a couple of weeks. We have usually stayed on the same growth curve, but he hopped up a couple of years ago per pedis charts so endo was confused about that, but I will update everyone. [/quote]

OP I've posted before about our oldest, almost 21 now. In early 2020 (he was 16) he was a couple of [b]years[/b] off per his bone scan. I'm 5'5" and he was shorter than me and just young looking. Pediatrician referred us to our local children's hospital/endo specialist. They said something similar, he's in the normal range on the Tanner scale just on the lower side. So there was no reason for them to suggest growth hormones etc. We all know how the rest of 2020 worked. When he went back in person school, he was 5'10" and has continued to grow in college. I think he's 6'1" and not done, just a super late bloomer. He still has a baby face and rarely has to shave.  :) [/quote]

We are 12.5 and 4'9 as of today. We are for sure in Tanner Stage 2 according to the beads and bone age was only read about 6 months behind. I would to see him sprout up like yours did but if he doesn't then that's okay too. My people are short on my side, so if he doesn't well then that's just how God intended.[/quote]

He’s still got a lot of growing to do, there are 3 more stages of puberty.  I’m not sure about all these claims of short kids growing to be well over 6’ but boys do grow later than girls.  It’s tough when you’re a 12 year old boy and half the girls are a foot taller than you.  A lot of those girls are at the end of puberty and he’s not.   [/quote]
