I heard that doctors can perscribe hormones that will make people about 4 or 5 inches taller. I am a 15 year old male, 5′10", but I think I have stopped growing, I am going to be 16 in about a month and a half. Will my doctor give me the growth hormones so i can be taller?

I’m 5′9" but my parents aren’t tall – my mom is 5′0" and my dad is barely 5′10". All of my grandparents are shorter than me. The only other tall relative I have besides my little brother who is about 6′2" is one cousin who I swear has gigantism and albinism because he’s 6′8" with white hair and crazy pale blue eyes.

im sure i have ghd cuase im 25 turning 26 and i look like im 17 my facial hair finally grew when i turned 23 plus i always feel tired and lazy,i have trouble gaining weight im very slim (5"7 133lbs) and i have a 6 inch penis.so my question is if i take testosterone will that help me at all wit everything?

i am 5′7" and i am 17 years old. i want to be about 6′ tall…or at the very least grow a couple inches. what hgh product can help me with that?

I ask this question for my brother because he doesn’t have a Y! account.

So he’s 5′3" and 15. He was 5′2.5" at 12 years old… so he’s basically grown half an inch in 3 years. This obviously frustrates him.

I was 5′9" at his age (we’re full brothers, so we have the same parents), and his doctor said that he’ll prescribe him HGH (Growth hormone) to help him grow at a normal rate.

How much can he expect to grow?
He’s actually been DIAGNOSED with GHD. So it’s not that he’s just a short person.

I am 6′2" and i want to gain about 4 more inches or more.I dont know if taking human growth hormones are recognised as steroids.I am afraid to take it and not be able to play like in the nba since i might be checked and seen to have taken HGH?

i’ve been doing growing exercises i found online that are part of a book with other "growing secrets". one of the things in it is a list of foods and things that help promote HGH to help you grow. i was wondering if anyone knew of anything along those lines. i’d really like to grow a couple inches and my parents won’t consider asking my doctor about it. i’m not just complaining, i’m 17 and i haven’t really grown since i was 12 or 13. so any and all tips would be appreciated.

I know a few but I know there are a lot more. I don’t know Roger Clemens nick name or Eric Gagne or Mark McGuire but I know others like:

1) Barry "Barroids" Bonds
2) Sammy "Steroid" Sosa
3) Adrian "Beltroid" Beltre
4) Manny "Manroids" Ramirez
5) Rafael "Palmeroid" Palmero
6) Alex "Aroid" Rodriguez

Any others?

When I was in HS most grls looked like Popeye’s gf Olive Oyle, all knees and feet. Now grls figures mature and start periods very early, and guys are almost always taller than their father. Why? Is it because earlier generations were range fed without all the "better living through chemestry" treated meat?

alright so I’m not bragging or exagerating at all this is how it is

for probably the past 6 months everyone at my high school agrees that I’m the "most ripped" guy in the school (i’m a sophomore now, might compete in bodybuilding senior year). I try to stay modest about it, but who am i kidding, i love the positive rep. guys treat me with more respect and are always hoping i’ll help them with working out, which i’ll always do.

however, if you were to ask anyone in my school who the SECOND most ripped guy in the school is, they’d all agree it’s a new freshman kid, a year younger than me also looking to get into bodybuilding. I’ve seen this kids muscles and seen him lift some huge weights, he’s the real deal. so at first I thought "alright, some healthy competition i’ll be a good sport and push myself harder". Then he started bragging to everyone for some reason about the fact that he takes HGH steroids regularly.

On steroids, he’s progressing faster than anyone could imagine. Most people say that if he continues to use steroids, he’ll be equal to me in less than a year, and surpass me soon after.

I don’t know what to do about it, should I accept this guy as a fellow bodybuilder, tell him to lay off the roids, or what?
kenny: thanks man, and i know a couple other natural bodybuilders at my school that agree with you. They’ve been working out twice as long as him and he crushes their stats, they’re pissed as hell.
ashley: thanks

Im 20, white 5"11 and a male with lean built. My head looks kind of small when i look in the mirror. It goes with my body but then agian it doesn’t. It’s like it stopped growing in size when i was about 16 but the rest of my body continued to mature. Will this problem fix itself in the future or do i have to turn to HGH cream/pills (just kidding)

I just turned 17 and I’m 5′6" and I have growth hormone deficiency. However my mom believes I might still just be a late bloomer like my dad was (he was my height at my age and then shot up to 6′1"). So is it possible for me to grow up to that height or close to it?

im 12 years and 4 months old and im 6′1.8" and i think i might have gigantism so if u no any thing ablut if i do or not please tell me
thx

Sylvester Stallone says he used human growth hormone to get buff for the new "Rambo" movie, and defends its use.

"HGH (human growth hormone) is nothing," the 61-year-old actor tells Time magazine in its Feb. 4 issue. "Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed."

Because it is nearly undetectable, HGH has become a substance of great concern in major league baseball and other sports battling allegations of rampant doping.
that quote is from Yahoo.

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…

I am 19 years old.

-I have been working out for 4 years, seeing no results.
-I have skinny childish arms, thin shoulders, yet have a very fat waist and legs
-I have no energy and always feel like garbage.
-I am socially withdrawn, but have manually tried to improve it (with results)
-I have practically no facial hair. I have a standard pube-stache and a couple scruffs on my chin
-I have no arm pit hair.

BUT I am 6′4", which really pisses me off. So what do you think?

At the Olympics we could have an "Enhanced" category and a
natural category. Same for cycling racers. Major League Baseball could benefit from this too. It could be very entertaining as a matter of fact, watching a baseball game
between a team of "enhanced" guys and a team of "natural"
players. It could turn into quite the competition don’t you think?
It’s futuristic, but hey, guess what – this the future! Why put it off?

yeh
questions in the question hehe

"who can be affected by primordial dwarfism "?

I know that for children who are predicted to be (or already are) shorter/smaller than normal people their age can take growth hormone injections. My question is: are there any cheaper, effective alternatives to these injections? Like pills or other types of supplements? And, what is the cut-off age for having hormone treatment? I’ve seen age 21-23, 20, "before 20"…….obviously everywhere has a different answer.

Hey Guys,

Im wondering, how to get taller, currently i’m 17, 5 ft 3 inch, and weight 100 pounds. I’ve made up a strategy; its 3 months long.

1. take secretagouge gold(hgh releaser’s),
2. take weight gainers(like carbs, amino acids, protines, and vitamines( like 60 pounds of it, over 3 months)
3. take body building suplements,
4. two hour long exercise sessions per day, 5 days a week.

and all of it in a efficient schedule.

The exercise(with the body building suplements) will make sure that all that extra calories(the weight gainer) are put to good use, the hgh releasers will make sure that my body can grow.

in theory it should work. so what do you guys think.
oh yeah that’s a myth body building in no way stunts your growth unless you over do it and damage your body.
hey JC congrazt on the 7" and i too am do interval training and a lot of cardio i am taking the supplement glutamine when exercising it will increase hgh naturally, so will secretagouge gold(its has ingredients like glutamine, argining , n some other stuff tht increase hgh naturaly). and i also have a pull up bar. i make it a point to do 5 pull ups or chin ups every time i go out of or come in my room.

I was 4′9" as a freshman in high school, and was found to be defecient in growth hormone. I recieved Protroprin injections for a couple of years and it helped with my height 5′5". Do I as an adult need to continue recieving injections? What are the risks and benefits?

Im 5"4, 14 years old. both my parents are 5"3. I do not think i have a hormone deficiency.
my projected adult height is between 5"4 and 5"5.

No offense to anyone short in stature, but although many little people live happy, fulfilling lives, even most confessionals and church facilities are tailored to "average" sized people. In the secular world, they are often relegated to using child-sized equipment for everyday tasks.

If God created little people, why does It abandon their welfare in everyday life in so many ways?
