[QUOTE="buddy, post: 534083, member: 12886"] This is where we were last year too. Yes they peeked just because they wanted to see if any signs of puberty had started but nothing like a physical or anything. Anyway the more important part was the hand xray and lab work. Ps under arm hair can give a clue and if you've seen at all you can give an idea if there are any signs. doctor. actually said it didn't look like what they see with problems related to the stims and more like he was a later bloomer and so last Aug we were 14 at 86 lbs and way under the curve for height and now he is 15 and well in the avg range. Still lower avg for height at 5 ft. 2 in. but weight higher avg. @ 131 (problem more now shoes seem small again) and yea the rest grew fine too. Causes some sensory issues for him though ...like we needed more of that LOL. The endo was right. Said he would likely take off and he did. At the time we went he barely had started any secondary changes. He eats well. Stims never affected that with him. They did check things inc vitamin levels etc. And. Q was super low in vit.D. all else was great. but the idea of adding growth medications was not cool anyway. Enough complications in our life.. Glad we went but I'd call ahead and clue them in that if he doesn't cooperate with that part not to push it. Just a thought. Like you I was not super worried I knew his bio parents were not tall and I didn't much mind his growing slowly due to the aggressive issues. Wish he'd slow down now. [/QUOTE]
