hey,
my daughter was diagoned for procucious puberty, at age 7, she was on lupron for 3-4 months. then she got sterile abcess and doc decided to put on her synarel nasal spray. she is on synarel from a year now, but last week when doctor did her bone age it came out to be 13.5, and she is 9 years and 3 months. but her blood work ( hormones were supressed) was normal. she is 4 feet 9 inches, and getting humatrope 25 mg, dose is 12 clicks now ( before was 8 clicks).
doc asked me to start lupron again, I want best for her so I said yes, but i am confused. what can be other options. whats about supprelin ( chip). i more worried about her height, how tall adult she will approximatelly be, doc said something about increasing GH dose. how much GH can help her.
i would really be thanfull for your time and help
