letrozole for short stature

gov/media/75520/download Personally, I do think it is hard for boys to be of short stature and advanced bone age can have other implications later on. I'd consider trying it but that is totally a personal choice. I do not like to give my kids medication but I saw the impact on my nieces lives to become 'more normal' and it was a positive.

He is on growth hormone for several years now--I have heard about letrozole and anastrazole but his current endocrinologist is not presribing these drugs. His pediatrician says if something is to be done to help him it should be now. opinions,advice greatly appreciated. thanks.

My 32 month old has been followed by a pediatrician for short stature (~5th percentile) and a persistent open fontanelle for the past 8 months. My son has more recently also been diagnosed with high myopia (approx -7 in both eyes). I have been concerned with no testing done for the fontanelle to rule out causes. The ophthalmologist has confirmed that high myopia like this in a child this age is very unusual and usually seen in a child with a syndrome or who was premature (he was not).

From birth there were few other symptoms of this person like short stature, squint,small hands,legs,swelling like lower body,large forehead(all operated corrected stature,eyes so not noticeable except weight gain on lower belly).All kinds of chromosal genetic testing done it came back negative for any other conditions except thyroid which was self diagnosed as doctors were saying everything was alright.

t undergone puberty yet. Still should I prefer this surgery? My short stature makes me feel inferior and worthless often.

I had been using clomid, but my lining is very thin so my RE switched me. It worked great for me. On clomid I had 2 follies. On letrozole I had 6! I didn't get a BFP but it was bc my progesterone was too low. I liked it much better than clomid-no side effects at all. Good luck to you!

I am a mosaic turners female and it is possible to not know. I was late in getting period and had short stature( treated with protropin) also have madelungs deformity. the person above is right. if no period ever, get checked. certain things are time sensitive. I am now 5'6 but would have been 4'11 without protropin.

There is multiple situations in which are current understand of growth plate closures is contradicted for example, we believe if the growth plates are undetectable by x-ray they are closed I beg to differ there are multiple example of people developing acromegaly in their late 20s or early 30s and due to the excess growth hormone released they have grown substantially in stature which under are current understand is impossible I can point you to a specific case Tanya angus she developed acro

I am suffering extreme depression and its the ONLY thing i need, i was always short since childhood and didnt take my short stature seriously. But at 16 my height was 5ft3inches.(161cm) (right now, iam 17 and my height is 5ft4,163cm)) My dads height is 5ft8, my moms height is 5ft1. I have many famliy relatives above 6ft, my grandfather was 6ft2 and my uncle is 6ft1. But when i reached an endocrinologist, he took some tests and i was normal.

So, feel reassured the chromosome analysis was normal. You and your husband are both of short stature, so no surprise the baby appears the same. Best regards, Dr.

Hi! Doctors will prescribe either clomid or letrozole to assist with ovulation. There's two main differences: it doesn't have anti-estrogenic side effects like clomid; and although studies have proven letrozole is an effective fertility drug it hasn't been approved by the FDA yet for fertility use, thus isn't covered by insurance (beware it's very expensive). Letrozole was developed to treat estrogen-sensitive breast cancers.

We are glad you are on to maintenance therapy for your previous cancer! Typically, letrozole does have a favorable side effect profile in relation to toxicity. This doesn't mean it is side effect free, however. The trade off is that it does appear affective in terms of prolonging recurrence.

i was told by my doctor i am anovulatory which made me depressed and i was on letrozole for 6 months but dint work..this is the first month i am given letrozole plus FSH injections and this made me produce one dear follicle which was 19mm and was given trigger shot 12 days ago.I took a pregnancy test 9 days after trigger shot which came out negative which confirmed trigger shot was out of my system...but still sore nipples...when should i take the next pregnancy test to see the confirmed result.

Suggest replacing his milk with Pediasure, milkshakes (milk and ice cream blended), or yogurt smoothies (yogurt, ice cream, or frozen fruit-if he accepts it- blended) for additional calories and protein for weight gain. Hoped this helped.

Hi. The Sjogren Syndrome-like symptoms you have been experiencing are not the direct result of Tamoxifen (the symptoms are not an immune reaction to the drug), but due to the decreased circulating levels of estrogen induced by Tamoxifen intake. This implies that the symptoms you are feeling are not permanent, and should improve when you stop taking Tamoxifen. To answer your question: yes, long term use of Tamoxifen seems to indirectly cause Sjogren-like symptoms, by decreasing estrogen levels.

watched what he is doing already he said to go baby proof our house ASAP cause he is WAY early with everything he is doing. This may actually be attributed to his short stature since he can balance better and get around easier. But all in all he is very healthy and that is all we really care about :) I like that he is doing all this stuff but I really want him to stay a baby for as long as he can. I am exhausted as it is now and he is just starting to crawl...

Hello, my husband and I have been trying to conceive since we've gotten married 8 yrs ago. I was diagnosed with pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in 2006. I'm not overweight, and my cycles come every month but not consistently. Well, this entire month of Nov., I have not gotten my period. I thought I might finally be pregnant so I went to my dr. and the test was negative. How can this be?? I get my period every month, finally miss a cycle, and it's negative?

I have been on letrozole for 5 months now and nothing.I had a miscarriage in march and have been taking this since march.The only side effects I have had are hot flashes in the beginning but I do get stabbing headaches occasionally.Has anyone else had to go from letrozole to something else that helped get them pregnant.

I don't understand your question .... if you mean the difference between Femara and Letrozole .... if you mean the difference between the two names there isn't any. Letrozole is the Generic Name for Femara. Regards ....

i did use Letrozole for 6 cycles...but no BFP...there were no side effects either....just got cramps during those entire cycles...i know 2 of my patients who used d same...one of them who had PCOD concieved with timed intercourse n letroz...d other who had endo like me didn't...however she got preggo by ICSI...Letroz is now banned in several countries but here in India its widely used....

I am obliged for the time spared by you for answering my queries. Thanks..

Trying since 2012 no pregnancy yet This is my 2nd cycle on femara, next ovulation expected on 1/14. If 3rd cycle not successful, will do iui with femara anyone else done this and got pregnant? ?

There is something that runs in the women of my family. I only know as far back as my great great grandmother, who had red hair and short stature(about 5'2). My grandmother is just slightly taller, with red hair and a very gradual weight gain. My mother is 5'3, red hair, she has started to gain weight and she has a hypothyroid problem. Like my mom who suffered from cold hands and feet all her life I also suffer from it, which is a symptom of hypothyroid.
