My girl had started her period for one year but she is only 146 cm tall. I am 160 cm and my hubby is 165cm tall. Any idea how to grow taller?
I read that your DD is P6 so her period came P5. She probably has one more year to grow a few more cm before her bones fuse, thereafter height growth is very minimal if any. You can refer to earlier pages. I have also summarised in above post ie some KSPs subscribe to Chinese herb theory ie peanut root soup, tian qi soup. Other ways : drink milk, sleep early and sleep a lot, protein intake, exercise etc. Just don't miss this golden period (pun unintended). Once missed, there's no way to grow much further. -
My girl is only 2 yr 6 mth old. She has 2 growth spurts this year. She has grown abt 10cm in past 10 mth or so. :rahrah:
Does this count??
She stands abt 80+cm or so. She can finally wear some 2Ts, depending on the brand.
I haven't cooked peanut root soup cos it's very hard to find at local market. -

Hi!My daughter is on the growth hormone jab for 6 mths till now. She did increase her height by 2 cm during the 1st 2 mths and nothing happen after that..zzzz...It is a very expensive treatment about $700-$1000 per mth. The most heartache part is that I find it very difficult to handle that stupid device used to jab her. Most of the time, the growth hormone don't seem to get into her body. I am considering stopping this treatment because money spent yet no result!
Heard Ma Kuang has the treatment for this height growing during puberty, anyone tried this??
My ds started Growth hormone therapy end dec last yr. Grown about 7cm since then. He is coming 6 yrs old. Yes, agree it is very ex. What device are u using? I'm using cool click 2 now. Pretty easy to use. If the GH cannot get in, it's wasted money. U should check with the supplier or the nurse and how to use it. One drop is $10 leh. U need at least a yr to gauge the results. Coz they grow in spurts. -

How did you calculate the potential height?HappieNewbie123:

For a gal, it’s (father’s height-13+mother’s height)/2. For a boy, it’s (mother’s height+13+father’s height)/2.
This is the formula given by my boy’s endocrinologist. Factors such as diet and nutrition etc will affect the final height. -
:sad: that means my children will be short.

hi mashy, sorry i don't have time look at earlier pages. May I know why your DS had to start on growth hormone therapy at such a young age? My boy is very short. He's the shortest boy in his K1 class. But my mum said boys can catch up during puberty stage. He's a also a very poor eater. Based on your formula, he will be short

He was diagnosed with low growth hormone and small
Pituitary gland. We monitored his growth with the dr over a yr, did MRI and saw the small gland plus his blood test results. So eventually the dr recommended growth hormone therapy. His potential height is 172cm so that’s our target. Now he is less than 3%. -
mashy, thanks for the info. So, does it mean if my DS’s PD doesn’t require him to do the test, he’s fine and I don’t have to worry? Or I must initiate for the test?
