A member asked:
Is it too late for my 16 year old daughter who has cf to take growth hormones? she started her period when she was 13 but is still growing very slowly
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably too late : Usually growth plates have fused within a year after starting periods . In the unlikely situation of this not happening there may be a window for growth but care would require medication to prevent closure of growth plates while taking GH. See if her doctor would consider studies to determine if growth plates have closed .
