Precocious Puberty Support Group
Early pubic hair, breast, or genital development may result from normal but early maturation or from several abnormal conditions. Early puberty which is normal in every way except age is termed idiopathic central precocious puberty. It may be partial or transient. If your child is going through early puberty, share your experiences here and get support.
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

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
We only had the blood and bone...My daughter is 6 and will be 7 in a few weeks. Her bone growth states that she should be 10.5. She is a big girl but there is height in my family. However, when the a hair came, I got worried.
Hope all goes well.
