Do you ever think about how tall you could have been if you had HGH growing up?

Quite a few parents in there talking about how their child didn't actually have a HGH deficiency growing up but they opted to have their child get treatment... most of these kids ended up quite tall.

Makes me think about what could have been for my 5'7 ass.

Also makes me think about how many tall guys I meet in real life who may have had this and everyone is none the wiser.

sometimes a little bit, im 1-2cm shorter than my dead and Im one of the only zoomers I know whos shorter than his paretns.
Im still 181cm though so its not a massive deal

excessive HGH can make your face look weird though, look at how many lanky NBA players have that kind of excessive grwoth look, im not sure how to describe it but ill look for a picture

Every day I drop down to my knees and ask god why he couldn’t make me stop growing once I hit 5’9 but he never hears my cries

"My son was born in the 5th percentile and that is where he stayed for years. He just kept moving along the curve. Somewhere around 5 they took an x-ray of his hand and said his bones were the size of a 3 year old. They said he would go through puberty two years later than most. Then when he was 7, our doctor wanted us to go to a endocrinologist so we did. Once again they tested him and said he could take growth hormone. I asked if he was low and the doctor (who was very short himself) said no. I said we would skip it and that it looked like the doctor did just fine. My son finally got to be 5'7"."

Holy fuck this comment

a couple inches taller if lucky, men touch 5'5 in my family usually, at 5'10 I am by far the taller one, but I also have a distant cousin side wherein everyone is 6'5-7' whom I haven't met for years (thankfully)

My school nurse said my growth was stunted because of my growth rate, but I’m 5”11 so idk how true that was
