One of the side effects of Genotropin is that it can bring on early puberty. Natasha is 10 and 4 months. She has been getting injections for almost two months. When she started the shots she was completely flat chested. Now she has the beginning of breast buds. Is this because of her age or because of the drug?
We don't see our endocrinologist again until early September, although of course I can call her before that. Natasha has grown at least an inch already, so it is not surprising that she might have grown in other ways besides height. Who knows what is going on with all these added hormones in her body. But breast buds? I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
