Hello. Has anyone used (/considered using) puberty blockers to delay puberty in order give time for growth hormones to work? Our son (11) has growth hormone deficiency (moderate to severe). He has just started on GH injections to hopefully increase his growth rate. He's below the 5th percentile in height. While puberty hormones will help our son to grow, they also act to close the growth plates, limiting the time he has to allow the GH to work. Doctor suggested we could consider delaying puberty for 1-2 years to give our son a little more time.
It's such a big decision. My biggest worry is any possible impacts on future fertility. Would be grateful to hear from anyone who has gone down this path or looked into it.
Thanks
