how much taller can you grow if you take human growth hormones?
i'm asian, and actually, i'm short for even just comparing to other asians. i'm 14 but i'm only 4'7. i thought, if i'd take hgh i'll get taller. besides, i'm pretty lean, and strong coz i take tumbling and gymnastics.

If you are concerned you might consult with an Endocrinologist. They will be able to tell you if you are a possible candidate for this injection or if you are just inherently disposed to being petite.
I would caution you to review the very long list of side effects that can occur in adolescents who get this injection. The scariest side effect being a propensity toward an enlarged heart & many reproductive side effects. Please evaluate your options very seriously, this is not something to be taken lightly.

With HGH injections by a doctor you can grow another 2 or 3 inches or in some cases even a bit more BUT unfortunately HGH is of no effect if your body is NOT actually deficient in HGH. Also if your growth plates have already closed then it is too late.
In your particular case a HGH deficiency is certainly possible as you are very short. HGH is a very dangerous substance and the side effects can be quite horrific.
Females usually stop growing at 15 and often earlier and sometimes later. Usually or often a girl stops growing 2 or 3 years after her first period.
