Question by Enigma: Concerning Human Growth Hormone and Height?
I will turn 16 on the 8th of September, 2007
I am 5′ 6 tall and weigh about 145 lbs
Height has always been a sensitive issue in my eyes and I can understand its importance because of how it is perceived by society.
Suffice it to say that I don’t want to stay 5′ 6 for one reason or another.
I have looked into other methods for height increase and found that most, if not all are ineffective, with the exception of the “limb lengthening procedure” and “human growth hormone,” respectively.
Just judging from a cursory glance, the first of these two would not be feasible.
That leaves Human Growth Hormone. Human Growth Hormone
is available in oral sprays, pills, and injections.
Essentially, only the injections work.
I have about $ 10,000 to spare offhand.
I have been reading prudently and found that HGH by injection, the cost that is, ranges from “$ 10,000 – $ 18,000
I don’t quite understand the discrepancy. Nonetheless, I am willing to bear any discomfort or inconvenience if that is the issue at hand.
It is required that the epiphyseal plates be open for HGH to work properly, in increasing height gains in adolescents
In a nutshell I have three potential problems.
a)Do I have enough money to pay for the treatment ($ 10,000 no more, no less)?
b)Have my growth plates closed?
c)Supposing that cost and eligibility don’t pose an issue and I reach the treatment stage, about how much could I be expected to grow and what might be my final height?
Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
Did I leave the impression that I was female…?
I’m not.
In light of that you could probably understand my concern

You probably have enough money to afford it and your growth plates have not closed yet. Usually, your growth plates mold together by the time you’re in your early 20s.
