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.

About Me
- DebPC
- I am a fifth year grad student getting a PsyD, which is a PhD in clinical psychology. I have successfully defended my disseration, a pilot study which used yoga and a discussion group to (successfully) treat binge eating disorder. I am now doing my internship, working with people on probation (mostly felons) who have to be in therapy as a condition of their release from prison. I also work with people who have gotten their children taken away by DHS. My specialties are eating disorders and using yoga to treat psychological issues. Finish internship and then I'm a real doctor. I have four cats, two daughters, ages 8 and 11 and one husband, aged 44. I love to run (especially marathons), bike, do yoga, x-c ski and lift weights. I live in the mountains in Colorado.
