Title: Puberty blockers
Post by: Maxwell on September 20, 2015, 01:06:11 PM
Was watching I am Jazz and they were talking about puberty blockers so I looked it up and apparently it stops the growth of your top and make sure you don't get surprised every month.

I'm kinda angry that I was about 2 years too late and could've potentially avoided top surgery and everything, especially since I can't find a  endocrinologist. 😠

Depending on how old you are, you could still suppress your puberty with blockers! Blockers can be used to slow down a puberty already in motion, since you actually go through puberty for many years

There is another factor to consider as well. Estrogen stops bone growth causing women on the average be shorter than men. Being on blockers even now might allow you to gain additional hight. Unless you have the genes for it, you couldn't reach my hight but you could gain few inches over what would have been normal for you.
