A member asked:
Do fertility drugs/shots contain growth hormones that can cause women-even in their late 30s--to grow several inches taller? which drugs cause that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and no: Fertility drugs do not contain growth hormone. Growth hormone injections into people in their 30's do not cause them to grow taller. Growth hormone increases height growth in people only from birth through puberty, until their growth plates close in late puberty.
