"My 15-year-old son before treatment was only averaging 1 inch a year in growth, and we were told he had actually stopped growing since age 11. At this time, he was 13 years old. He has been on Norditropin since December 2014 and has grown almost 5 inches and is now more confident than ever, he even has a girlfriend now! Lol."

"My son was about 7 when he started taking Humatrope. He was extremely small for his age and was not even on the growth curve. Although he had maintained his own small growth curve. When that curve started to invert, we put him on this. He gets a shot every night. He is now 9 years old and growing at twice the velocity that he had been growing at. He is still small, but he does not stand out so drastically among his peers. We have been very happy with the results and plan to continue the medication."

"My son, at age 6, started the injections due to short stature. Before injections, my tiny 6-year-old had a bone age growth of 2.5 years and weighed a whopping 32 lbs and was 38 inches tall. Only 4 months after starting the hormone, my son had grown 2 inches and gained a little under 4 lbs. My son is now at the 6-month point, and I can see his jeans getting shorter. I cannot wait to see what a full year of hormones does for my big boy."

"Used this medication when I was 15-18 to treat my stunted growth and development due to being malnourished from Crohn's disease. Over the course of the time using it, I went from being 5'0" and 87 lbs freshman year of high school to 5'10" and 155 lbs at graduation. This was without lifting weights or really changing my diet at all. Grew 10 inches and gained nearly 70 lbs. I experienced no side effects."

"It's so heavy, a very cumbersome process to prepare the med. It hurts more, even though the needle is the same as Norditropin. Also, why the smell? I like Norditropin better."
