[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin grew 8 inches, but I don't think that was the norm.  She also got her period very late - at 16.[/quote]

Similar experience for me. Started high school at 4'10" and finished at 5'6". Added a couple more in college. And very late on my period, 15, nearly 16.[/quote]

Did you have constitutional growth delay pp? I'm asking because that is what my Dd's ped says she has - she is 5 but her bone age is 3.5 and her hormone is normal. She says DD will grow slower but for longer, and that puberty probably will be late too....[/quote]

no idea. I was pretty average for the first 7 or 8 years of my life, if I'm remembering those meticulous growth charts my mother recorded correctly. And then I just...slowed down. But, at 9 I started pretty intense sports training, which may have played a factor, and am fairly small-boned. My small size didn't cause too much concern, because my maternal grandparents were small (5'4" and 5'1"), as was my paternal grandfather (5'5"). Everyone was far more surprised when I grew so much in high school.

I didn't love being small, but on the other hand, I think I was much more emotionally ready to deal with my period at 15. I cannot imagine going through that at 10. It sounds awful, just awful. So that was a nice "bonus."[/quote]
