Could Having Early Menarch Lead To Shorter Hieght?

Hello Dr,My 10 year old has reached menarch recently. She has bone x-ray couple of months back and it showed that her bone age was about 12 years. Given that early menarch leads to shorter hieght, and her bome age is more than her actual age, I wanted to explore the possibilities of using growth hormones or other options for gaining height.Please advice.Thank you.
