Re: Adrenarche vs. puberty

[Guest guest]

is on Aromasin (like Arimidex) and Lupron Depot. It is my understanding

that

adrenarche causes androgens to turn into estrogens which can cause bone age to

advance

& also lead into puberty. However, I did ask Dr. H at the convention if the

adrenarche

period could last years, and she said yes. was in adrenarche for 5

years before

going on Aromasin, and his bone age did advance quite a bit in that time period.

I believe

in puberty the bone age also advances.
