My name is Moriah, I just joined this group today.
This morning my 7 yo daughter started her period. I took her to a walk-in clinic to be sure that is what it was. The Dr. confirmed and recommended making an appt with a pediatrician (we recently moved to this state) who will then make a recommendation to a pediatric endocrinologist. Before I adopted my daughter (when she was 2) her foster mom suspected precocious puberty due to scant pubic hair growth. She was seen and tested and nothing came of it. She has no more pubic hair now than she did at 2. I am trying to be calm, but I am scared for my daughter! She is so little! What can I expect at her appointment? I assume there will be lots of tests and Xrays for bone growth etc...she is average height (maybe a little tall) and is not growing breasts or developing acne or noticeable body odor... I think I just need reassurance that things will be OK... Thanks for listening! Moriah Posted on 12/08/07, 06:12 pm |
