My daughter, who just turned 7, is showing signs of nipple development. There are no other signs of puberty, no public hair, body odour or anything like that. I am expecting her to start having periods early because I did, I was 10. But I would be concerned if she started any earlier than that. For one thing, after starting to have periods I didn't grow another inch. Thankfully I was 5ft 5 so a reasonable adult height. Were my daughter to start in say, a year, she would be very short. I have heard of people intervening with hormone implants and wondered if anyone had any experience of that? Do I need to have her assessed in some way? It would be a shame to realise it was too late to intervene.
I should add that she is a healthy weight, tall for her age and in every way normal.
