growth after menarche ? (12 year girl)

[necla]

My daugter is 12 year old now. She is 153 cm high, her xray (left hand)shows that bone growth almost finished but she has little open epiphyse. She had already 1 first little period (menarche)  5-6 weeks ago.Our Doktor toled us, she would only grow 3-4 cm more (if she`s lucky)
She is very very depressed about that! As a baby and through childhood she were at 50% perzentile. Now she will stay under 3% !! Because she pupertated too early.
I am 160cm, my husband 182cm. Her constitution is like her father, but between 2-10 years old she hat periodic fever syndrom (PFAPA), since 1-2 years she is healthy and started growing.
Can we do anything now to slow down her östrogens or at least to help growing more than only 3-4 cm as long as her epiphyses are still little open?
She would do anything possible.

Of course you do as would I ... I think you do need to research growth hormone ..I will also look up any info may be interesting,I think that an group with other parents going through similar may be a good thing and give you input ..I have in fact asked Med help to get a new forum going regarding gowth of children,  I have so far heard nothing I will ask again .I will do some more research ..good luck

Thank you for the link ! Our Doctor would not do  anything. She things it is too late... But I think, as long as she has little open growth plates and she will grow more at least a little...I would like to do anything possible and reasonable to help her growing little more.
