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.

Please Say Hello if You're Adult With PP?

I see a lot of postings from parents and just wondering how many of us are adults now here for support/connections? I've never seen a group for this nor have I met anyone like me so I'm interested.
I was diagnosed age 4 and bones fused before 8.
I've called the hospital as an adult (to just let them know how I'm doing) and they tell me I am tall @ 5'4. Honestly would have no problem being shorter than that.

I am seeing something about "shots" to make these kids grow taller? Wouldn't most females prefer to be shorter? Especially after spending their childhoods being taller than everyone, it is refreshing to be short *smiles*
Not judging just wondering about it all...how do you feel?

adult here who had PP, diagnosed at 3 years. Message me or write on my post anytime you would like to talk or need support. You are not alone. There are more adults out there who had it, especially last time I was on here in 2009. I'm looking as well to see if anymore adults joined who had it as well. Hugs.

I'm a 34-year old woman who was diagnosed with precocious puberty between the ages of 6 and 7. I was in a leuprolide study. It was very difficult to have PP and deal (and still deal) with the social and emotional repercussions of being in the study, harassment at school, and other experiences. Please feel welcome to contact me.

I was wondering if any adult that was diagnosed with precocious puberty was treated when they were a child with Lupron injections or Supprelin implants and if so, were there any long term effects. My 8 year old daughter is currently being treated. She started out by getting monthly injections in her legs. (Very painful) and was able to switch to the Supprelin implant in her arm that needs to be changed annually.
When these treatments were brought to my attention I was concerned about the long term effects and was unable to find anything. My pediatric endocrinologist assured us that it was safe, but I am not sure they know that for sure...

I would also like to know the thoughts of an adult that was diagnosed and treated for PP at an early age. My 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with PP and we are now going through treatments of Lupron (30mg /3month) injections. I would really like to know the long term effects, thoughts, and opinions of someone who has actually gone through the experience.

Hi, sorry I am responding so late. I used to have the username Alwayshavehope that responded to you a while back. Found all my old records would really love to talk to you again. Please feel free to message me anytime. Confirmed I was actual 2 years old not three and put on Lupron. Found out I was in a study with five girls in 1989. Really love to talk to you and anyone who might be able to help with some questions I have as well. Many blessings.
