The same hormones that began any woman's puberty.
Puberty today DOES begin at 8 - 10 years old due to plastics that convert to synthetic estrogens that are in our United States diet like canned baby formulas and vegetables and growth hormones injected into our meat supplies.
Also, it may be hereditary. If grandma, maternal or paternal, started early, as the case of my two daughters, then watch for signs of puberty early on.
Many girls begin their periods at 9,10, or 11 these days. The puberty process actually begins 2 years prior to the onset of a girl's first period.
Phase one is body hair (armpits, pubic)
Phase two is breast development (small mass behind nipple)
Phase three is hip widening and vaginal discharge
Phase four Menses

There are all kinds of hormones that kick off early puberty estrogen and androgen are the 2 main ones for woman. You can go to www.webmd.com and read up on early puberty. I was 10 when I started my period and I was between 8-9 when I started with breast and pubic hair. I have a terrible time with my periods and have PCOS. While there has not been a link YET to early puberty and PCOS most woman started puberty that have PCOS. I hope this helps.

Puberty comes at a different time for everbody but it usually happens between 12 and 16 so no it's not early!

The same hormones that cause puberty in all women. Progesterone, oestrogen, FSH, LH. Early puberty isn't well understood, but it has been documented that women now have puberty much earlier than 100 years ago, so it could be natural progression.

hypothalamus triggers pituitary Gland which produces Estrogen and Progestin.
both are responsible for puberty in girls.normal and early puberty are caused by same hormones.

some girls in 3rd world countries have early puberty because of the hormones they feed chickens and cows to fatten them up.

Some people just start earlier than others. I started at 9 (what a repulsive thing to have happen at that age). I always thought it was because my mother was 43 when she had me. In fact, I blame all my nuttiness on that. LOLOL

Eating foods that have been injected with hormones.The farms that raise cattle especially chicken inject them with hormones to fatten them up.Then we eat the meat and get all that extra hormones that is bad for us.

don't know - I first noticed my daughter had underarm hair when she was only 7 - I asked my GP and was told nothing can be done to delay this unless they are 6 or under
