# Summer 2026 — Message to Future Me
**June 7, 2026 — 23:28 — turning 17 in 33 min**

## Yo 17 Turning 18 Me
If you're reading this a year later, summer 2026 is over. You either grew or you didn't. You either regret this or you don't.
Right now I'm 16, turning 17 in 35 minutes. Bone age 16. 6'3.5", 84kg. And for the next few months I'm running the most minimal effective protocol: just Erdafitinib and Letrozole. That's it.
This is the summer I find out if two compounds can actually move the needle on height. im gonna d

## What I'm Actually Running This Summer since i dont have any way to hide my shit
**The ENTIRE Stack:**
- Erdafitinib (FGFR3 inhibition)
- Letrozole (E2 control)
**For Erdafitinib Sides:**
- Forskoloin (cAMP, RZ support)
- Phosphate binders (hyperphosphatemia management)
- Bile acid sequestrants (lipid support)
**Minimal Supplements:**
- Vitamin D3 + K2 (bone)
- Zinc
- Omega-3
- NAC (liver)
That's actually it. No HGH. No M-Tren. No peptides. No insulin. No nothing.
Just erda + letrozole. Lean as fuck protocol.
im gonna do way more afte the summer just need to move out ahah to spain
---
## What Happens This Summer
**Expected sides from Erdafitinib:**
- Hyperphosphatemia (mandatory phosphate binders)
- Dry mouth/eyes (annoying, manageable)
- Stomatitis (mouth sores, sucks)
- Fatigue (probably)
- Maybe nail issues
**From Letrozole E2 crash:**
- Joint pain (real)
- Mood dips (noticeable)
- Lipid issues (NAC + diet helps)
- Bone density concerns
**What I'm hoping for:**
- Measurable growth (even 1-2cm is a win)
- Plates stay open longer
- Proof of concept that erda works
---
## Bloodwork Schedule
no blood work
---
## The Real Situation
I'm not gonna bullshit you. This is a lean protocol because:
1. I'm 16
2. I can only access certain things
3. I want to see what actually matters
4. HGH is expensive and I wanted to try erda first
So this summer is basically a test. Does Erdafitinib + E2 suppression + proper side mitigation = measurable height gain?
If yes: I know the real driver and can build on it next year.
If no: I know to try something else.
Either way it's data.
---
## To Summer Me (mid-protocol)
You're probably:
- Tired from erda
- Joints hurt from E2 crash
- Mouth is fucked (stomatitis sucks)
- Questioning if this was worth it
It probably was. Keep the bloodwork consistent. Don't be dumb with sides. Sleep 9 hours. Eat enough.
The protocol works if you actually commit to it.
---
## To Me One Year Later (17 turning 18)
By now you know:
Did Erdafitinib + Letrozole alone actually do anything?
That's the only question that matters.
If it worked: you have the proof that FGFR inhibition is the real lever. Build on it.
If it didn't: you tried, you learned, move to next protocol.
If sides were unmanageable: you survived, you're smarter about what you can actually tolerate.
You're 17 now. If plates are still open (they probably are), you have decisions to make about year 2.
This summer wasn't about maximum gains. It was about understanding the system.
---
## After Summer — The Real Protocol
Once summer ends and you're back, the situation changes completely.
If erda + letrozole worked: you know the foundation is solid. Time to add everything.
**The Full Stack (Fall/Winter):**
- HGH (morning injection)
- M-Tren (test crash protocol)
- Erdafitinib (FGFR inhibition)
- Letrozole (E2 control)
- HCG (testicular maintenance)
- Forskoloin (cAMP, RZ support)
- Phosphate binders (erda sides)
- Bile acid sequestrants (lipid support)
- Vitamin D3 + K2
- Zinc
- Omega-3
- NAC
- TUDCA
This is where you actually see if the full system works. Summer was the test. Fall is the protocol.
---
## Real Last Thing
This is for me. Only me. A record of what I actually did when I was 16.
The point isn't to convince anyone this works. The point is to know for myself.
so did summer work? that's the only question.
did erda + letrozole actually move anything or nah?
if yes - sick, we know the foundation is thereif no - ok we know that's not the playif sides sucked - ok so you know your limits
either way you did something instead of just talking about it.
you're 17-18 now. plates still open? then you know what to do. closed? then you got your answer.

**Summer 2026. Age 17. Erda + Letrozole. Minimal. Focused. after summer is when im gonna do all the other stuff for my face and etc my current facial rating is between a mmtn-hmtn on a good day good luck to me in the future
See you in a year, me.
