My almost 8yr old started having beeast buds now. Dr wants to put on Lupron injections. If we dont treat, she will not reach 5 feet. May be around 4.10 or 4.11.

Untreared, she will get periods at 9. My husband and I are skeptical about the long term side effects and trying to avoid lupron injections. Please provide your insight.

Thanks

Rose

    If she was my daughter - I would have the injections. It will work. 

    Is she overweight? Have they thoroughly investigated for why shes gone into precocious puberty?

      They say she is borderline. 74 lbs for 7.7 yr old. She was born small and dr said it could be that.
