Re: Re: SGA (Small for Gestational Age) and GHT (Growth Hormone...

My daughter has been on GHT for 6 years - starting at age 3. On GHT she is

growing about 4 inches a year - (2 inches a year without it). Had we not been

using it she would be one foot shorter at this point - truly she would not fit

in with her peers. She eats well, plays sports, takes dance lessons etc. I

have found no downside to using GHT and am grateful that there is a

medication which will help her grow and not feel so 'different " . The nightly

shots

become as routine as brushing her teeth- Hope this helps with your decision.
