Thanks for the info. Did you do this through the pediatrician, or endo?

imagine being shorter than 6'


Imagine scoring under 30 on the ACT or having a tiny little 6" dick.

Anthony Davis was like 5’11 his freshman year of HS. There’s always hope!

This is Louisiana. Most of these midgets could never dream of being 5’11”.

My son was under 1% in growth. We did several tests and found he was not producing sufficient growth hormones and his receptors were not receiving most of what he was producing. After a long process, his doctor was able to get him approved for HGH shots and he has to take one nightly. He has grown about 4 inches since we started in March and for the first time in a couple of years, we have had to buy him larger size shoes and pants. My understanding is that he will stop the shots once he hits puberty. It has worked really well for him.

He was 8 when you did this? That’s insanity. We might make our kid sterile but at least he’ll be tall. I was really short until I was 14 then I grew to be over 6’. Let life play out.

Endo. It was a long process and he had to do a lot of test for insurance to cover it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Actually it isn't that uncommon for pediatricians to prescribe HGH to children. I knew a couple of kids my age growing up that were <1 percentile type height and took medicine. They are both still short, but no telling how short they would've been.



Damn, I could have done this?! I'm 4'9"
