Almost all my relatives are on the taller side except for my aunt who is 5′1".

I am a 14 year old girl and only 4′9.5". I started my period 2.5-3 years ago. I have only grown about 1.5 inches since I was 12 years old.

I have always been on the shorter side.

I am currently below the 3rd percentile on the growth chart. Should I worry about my growth?

Could I have growth hormone deficiency?

I read that you should be concerned if you are shorter than your younger sibling, which I am. It also said that you should be concerned if you are below the 3rd percentile on the growth chart, which I am also.

Im pretty sure its HGD?
I’ve tried to ignore it, but I just can’t anymore.

I’m 18, 5′4, 108 pounds, male, 11 1/2 shoe size, and look REALLY young. I’ve looked exactly the same for 4 years now. All the males on both sides of my family are 5′10 and on the heavy side. I have plenty of hair everywhere except my face which I have a little. My testes are in the next to last stage of development. I was average height till about 8th grade and I have not grown any since. I also have not changed in my face. The pictures of me in the 8th grade, look exactly like the ones now, in college. I was 5′4 in the 8th grade, looked like a normal 8th grader. Then I just stopped changing. My mom is 5′4 and my dad is 5′10(at least, probably more). I am not exaggerating about how I look. I look extremely young. .I have a really poor appetite and I am on Prozac.

Reasons why I think its HGD :

I have Huge feet for my size
I haven’t changed in 4 years physically
The other effects of puberty has not been effected…(size of testes, pubic hair)
Every male on both sides are at least 5"10 and on the heavy side.
I’m having a lot of trouble gaining weight/poor appetite
I look like a 13 year old max
I have poor muscle mass (the bones on my elbows/wrists and shoulders actually stick out…looks weird)
I was average size till the 8th grade…was in the 50th percentile for boys, then plummeted to the 3rd?
I take Prozac for anxiety (another symptom)
My penis has not grown any since the 8th grade

My family doctor did blood tests on everything but HGD (Endo’s have to do the test). I need a referral to see an endo, do you think he will give me one? Anyone had any experience with HGD? Sound like I have it?

—–A lot of people skim so I’m going to say it again. I look REALLY young 13-14, not just short. That is what bothers me.
Edit: Just wondering…any heart or lung issues, or other medical issues that you may have?

Nope…at least that I am aware of. I’m trying to tell my mom I need to see one, but she is siding with my family doctor atm…

Please don’t comment unless you have something worth posting…

I’m 18, male, 108lb, and 5′4 with a immature face. Basically I haven’t gotten any older (physically) since the 8th grade. All my drivers license pictures look EXACTLY the same. My weight has actually decreased since then (I was 115). Im under the 3rd percentile on a boys growth chart. From what I understand these are classic symptoms of hgh deficiency. Should I see a specialist? I got bloodwork done from my family doctor but he didnt do a hgh test.

I forgot to add, none of the males on BOTH sides of my family are under 5′10
