I’m almost 18 now, and I don’t know why I’m short. All the females on my mother’s side are short, averaging less than 5 feet tall. I’m 5 feet tall, and it doesn’t look like I’ll be growing any taller.

As a kid, I was treated with HGH, but that didn’t help enough to warrant continuing treatment (I grew less than .25 inches in more than a year when I was on the treatment). My bone age is normal, and my voice and sexual maturity are appropriate for my age and were not delayed.

So then what specifically could be causing my stunted stature?
Hey, thanks for the answers. I knew that it was a genetic predisposition, I was just wondering hoping for a more specific answer, (it was this gene, or somewhere down the line my family naturally selected for shortness or what have you).

And for the record, I don’t let being short bother me at all. I just wanted to make the clear, in case the question read more like a complaint than a scientific inquiry.

As we see, Bonds and Clemens have never admitted to using HGH or steroids and we all despise them. They are all hiding from the media, denying their use of HGH or steroids, and being jerks about it. But then we have Andy Pettitte, who now I accept his apologize after he admitted to using HGH. Are players better off for admitting their use of HGH or steroids and apologizing for it?

Can Anabolics (for body-building) with Growth Hormones make you taller? Growth Hormones are the ones responsible for one’s height right?

Looking for a website or pharmacy/store that i can purshase HGH. I’m strenght training and looking for the upper edge. Right now i’m taking, whey protein (before and after workout), black powder (before workout), and creatine. This formula isnt giving me the results i need. Please dont respond telling me i shouldn’t use it, its bad for me, etc. Only respond if you can answer my question, or have taken HGH.

We drink organic milk, but the cost of cheese and butter is so high we haven’t been able to make that leap yet. I do buy Kraft cheese that pledges no growth hormones, but are there any other companies? What about for butter?

Because dwarfism is a DOMINANT disorder, both parents would have to be homozygous recessive for "normal" height…right?

So would the ONLY way that a dominant trait could arise be from a germline mutation?

thanks

Is it very easy to have my doctor prescribe me HGH. I starting a workout program and I want a pick me up to get me through my workouts.

My kitten is about a month or two old and he loves eating meats i.e. chicken, hamburger, etc. He’ll see us eating it and wont stop meowing till we feed him what we’re eating. He prefers it over his cat food. Is it bad for him to eat this since the feed growth hormones to the chickens and stuff he’s eating? (since he’s so small/young?)
Would it be better if the cat had the chicken meat raw?

I need to know the average weight of someone with dwarfism. Say someone about 3 ft 6 in, would they be about 60 pounds? Any other source would have the weight for a porportionate person but to my knowlege I know that most dwarves are not porportionate.

Does anyone know any good prohormones or similar to supplement with, I really hit a plateau and cant get past. I need to lose fat and gain muscle.

I’m 30 yrs old, 5′9 and about 195.

Any websites for testosterone or HGH that are legit? Do they work?

All the males on both sides of my family are 5"10 ++

I’m stuck at 5′4 1/2 108 pounds 18 years old and 11 1/2 shoe size.
I haven’t grown taller OR aged since I was 14. I still look like I’m 14. My testes have continued to grow…at the next to last step of development. And I have the "adult" pubic hair. I have a little facial hair but still look like I’m 13-14. Could this be a medical problem? Or can I still grow even though I’ve gone through…almost finished some stages of puberty but completely lack others…Maturing of the face…the 14+ growth spurt…penis growing…(at 4 in erect)…Shoulders widening.

I just look so young, it’s like my body just completely stopped making it.

I still look like an adolescent…

For the completely oblivious people…I’m not just making this accusation because I’m short, it’s also because I look VERY young and haven’t matured in my face in 4 years+.

I heard that you get taller by your brain releasing growth hormones into the bones. Is it possible too trick it or a doctor can do something by releasing those hormones stuck in my brain into my skelton??? Serious question, lol

Including natural supplements for hgh increase.I dont want to spend 1000 bucks on the real hgh.

I keep coming back to gigantism, but really think tumor. Increase in Growth Hormone, decrease in Thyroid, cortisone and testerone.

Any thoughts?

I just wanted to know if anyone has heard of HGH (Human Growth
Hormone) It is supposed to help you lose weight . Also, help with anti-aging. I have bought this product called Naturally HGH. Has anyone had results, and If so how long did it take.
I am open to any advise.

Thanks

will being injected by growth hormones to grow taller cause any face or any other body part deformities?
if the patient is 14 5′1 and female?

what are the harms of these hormones?
are there more pros or more cons?

please tell me everything you know about this

and if you’v had these shots tell me how they worked out.

I have heard that HGH has very little negative consequences if done in a controlled fashion. Does it have the same effects as steroids as far as building muscle mass and reducing body fat with a decent workout regimen? Also, what are the costs? I heard one person on a radio show promoting HGH as a wonder drug and the new fountain of youth. Any thoughts?

I’m doing a biology project on human genetic disorders and I was assigned to research primordial dwarfism. I’ve looked all over google for anything about PD’s frequency of occurrence but I can’t seem to find anything. I’m aware that there are many different kinds of primordial dwarfism, but I would settle for the frequency of occurrence on any of them as long as it is for the USA or the world. Thanks so much!

i don’t know much about it, but i know that there are growth hormone specialists and they can inject growth hormones in you to make you grow. anyone know anything about it?

Bodybuilders use some supplements to gain mass, shape or carve their body muscles etc. On the other hand there are Human Growth Hormones supplements which are used for having overall healthy body and also reducing aging factor as it keeps your muscles fresh and healthy.
the question is, are these two things the same or different, help plz…

I’ve searched everywhere for this answer and i haven’t been able to find it.

Does HGH actually make you grow taller if your not deficient?

Does it speed up the process so your growth plates fuse earlier?

I have heard that your pituitary gland produces growth hormone when you sleep. I am quite short, but pretty sure that I am not HGH deficient. I do not get more than 7 hours of sleep 5 days a week during school, sleeping 9-10 hours twice a week. I am 14. Is this enough sleep? Is there any other way to naturally produce more HGH?

I am a 19 year old guy and I think that I want to see a doctor because I might have Human Growth Hormone deficiency. Based on what I’ve read I seem to have many of the symptoms. I’m short (5′5) and my parents aren’t that short my mom’s 5′4 and my dad’s 5′9, I am incredibly small boned especially my arms. I tend store alot of fat around my waist even though i’m not fat, I often feel depression, and I don’t look my age. Should I go see a doctor and get tested?
If I do have this deficiency, how is the HGH treatment? I know its expensive but I am more than willingly to pay for it. Also, do you think that if I do it I might grow a bit?

I was seriously wondering caus people with GHD can have large hands & feet.

I am a 16 year old female and currently I am 5ft4and a half inches. But i really badly want to reach 5′6. I have decided that after my GCSEs I am going to do exersice everyday and eat lots of protein. Is there anything else i can do to release growth hormones. Thank you 10 points for the best answer
