Thyroid question?!
Question:
Thyroid question?
I am 5 feet and I stopped growing when I was 12. I got my period when I was 11. My mom is 5'2 and my dad is 6 ft. What do you think?
*cough* im 17 *cough*
I had a history of thyroid problems when I was 5 (I stopped growing since 3 years old and I was skinny and eating alot)
I can't be treated anymore right? My bone plates are closing or almost closed. What do you think?
Answers:
5 feet is fine for a woman. I am 4 10 inches tall and stopped growing when I was about 11. Even before that I was always the shortest kid in the class.
As for the thyroid problem, if it is currently a problem, get a TSH or T4 uptake test at your next physical but if it were off by much you'd probably know. Your chances of getting taller at this point are pretty slim, but just accept your body and if your "worst" feature is being 5 foot tall, accept it and be glad that you aren't a guy - it would be a lot harder for a guy in your situation
