OK so some of you ladies have been helping me through this for the last few months.
And I don't know whether to feel relieved that it isn't my imagination or me over worrying, or even MORE worried about what is going on :(

Aylas bone age scan came back fine and right on track. And most of her hormones are fine. Except gonadropin or however its spelled.

The doctor gave us a referral back to the endo who did her age scan and said pubic hair alone in a child is not worrisome. But pubic hair long with hormonal imbalances has him worried.

She has the referral and we will go see the doctor.
But as all of you know, I tend to over worry :( and I'm sorry.

But could any one give me an idea as to what could be the cause? I know that sometimes its not good to give a worried parent too much info. But I worry MORE if I am clueless. Please tell me what could be going on.

Thank you

By chance did they do a pelvic ultrasound?

Not yet. He said the standard tests from the endo is the bloodwork, bone scan, then pelvic, then MRI and cat scan. When the bone scan was done, the endo wasn't concerned because it was nromal, but the results from the blood work weren't back yet. The doctor had ordered both a bone age scan and pelvic US, but when the bone scan came back fine he said that unless the blood work came back abnormal he didn't want to put her through more testing since we were already doing the EEG, the bonescan and blood draws he didn't want to overwhelm her more than she already was.
