Sex hormones are continually produced and even developing babies have them as they have a role to play in defining a persons sex at birth. At puberty however sex hormone levels will rise how far i couldn't say. Puberty starts in a range of years from quite early in girls sometimes 9 I think to later at 14 even. Its generally later in boys definitley in the teens and rarely much younger than that.

The pituitary gland itself does not produce sex hormones directly; however, it plays a crucial role in regulating their production.

Thus, while the pituitary gland is essential for the regulation of sex hormones, it does not synthesize them.
