Hi 5k run.  My daughter is 7 years old (diagnosed with precocious puberty) and has a bone age of 9 and she is about to go on either Lupron or Supprelin.  I am scared either way and am having trouble making the decision.  I am looking for feedback or messageboards/groups with other parents opinions on this.  What did you end up going with for your daughter and what were the pros and cons?  Would you do it again?  Thank you.
