delayed puberty - #10274
my son is 14 years old and a half (turning 15 in august) he didnt hit puberty yet nor showed signs of puberty (aka facial hair, deepened voice, growing taller, etc.) his growth hormone is 103 (reference range is 107-502) he took the testosterone injection 250ml (idk the medical term for this) but he took it on a 3 month course. the doctor said if i gave it all at once he will hit puberty but not grow taller than he already is, so he gave it in dosages. 1st month 50 2nd month 100 3rd month 100. until i contacted another doctor and he said that injecting isnt safe because it will stop the actual hormomne from producing what's vital. but now a 3rd doctor's opinion is : giving the injection wont cayse harm bec my son's orginial scale for testesterone and growth hormonr are REALLY low. so injecting wont stop the actual hormone from producing vise versa it will most probably help the hormonr produce more since it's just a helper in this case we wont fully depend on injecting. so i need help what should i do?
