Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hello, this is Milou from Holland. We still doupt if we have to delay puberty with Lucrin (probably the same as Lupron). Maartje(rss)is 11 years and 4 months. She is 139 cm and her weight is 28 kg. It seems that she begins starting puberty. She uses GH for almost three years. She gets it from a special study(research) which wants to prove that GH helps SGA children. The doctor advices us to delay puberty for two years. We don't know what to do. We are thinking of it all the time. We also spoke to an independent endocrinologe.after that consult we had the feeling not to delay, but still we doupt. We also wonder if delay puberty will have effect on her asymmetry. there is a possibility that her right side, which is shorter, will grow a longer time than her left side, so that she will less assymetrie finally. if we delay puberty maybe we waste this possibility. It's so difficult to make a decision, but we have to decide this week. Who can give us more information and help us with this decision ? three years ago it was also very difficult to decide to start gh, but finally we knew what to do, but now we can't decide. greetings from Milou, mom of Maartje.
