Human Growth Hormone for 3 year old girl who is projected to be 5 feet tall?
My daughter was born at the tall end of the growth chart but has been falling to the shorter end. She is still on the chart and supposedly over 25%, but the doctors are sloppy in the measuring (shoes on, etc). I am concerned. At 18 months she was still over the 80th percentile and at 24 months she was still high, she has since dropped below 50th, and now she is not yet 37.5 inches and 3 and a half years old.

Sometimes kids get out of sync with the growth charts- they are only averages and some people go through faster/ slower growth spurts. 5 ft tall is not a bad height either. I wouldn’t recommend HGH, at least leave it a few years and see if her growth catches up. I would only be concerned if she was really thin or unhealthy as then stunted growth can be a sign of malnutrition.
It could work for her in the end.Im 5 ft myself and love being this height.Of course i have to hem my jeans.Its nature you shouldnt mess with it.As long as she is healthy and loved thats all that matters.
well growth hormones could really booster her up there but even if she ends up at 5 feet she will be fine. The realty is that since she still falls into the normal range doctors would be reluctent to give them to her. The next probblem is cost, i think the last time i checked on this the cost was about 50,000 per year of treatment. Just keep and eye on her growth for now, you have a few years to think about it. But their is hope, my friend joann was small while growing up and then at age 16 shot up from 5’1 to 5’8 passing me up.
