There's obviously a lot of variation - my Dd got her period in 6th grade and grew maybe another 2 inches before the end of middle school (all the way to 5'2.5")

I got my period at 11 at that point I was 5' 3". I didn't reach my full adult height of 5'7" until 18.

My daughter's pediatrician said there would be little to no more growing 3 years after her period started.

My daughter got her period at age 12 and has grown 8 inches in the past 2 years. Her doctor said she might grow an inch or so more, but that she could be done.

I'm really short. Stopped growing after 14 or so. Except after first semester of college, I grew 1/2"!! I was super excited about that 1/2"

Period in 5th grade and don't think I grew very much after. I was always "tall" for my age, told I would be tall when I was older but then everyone caught up with me. I'm still secretly peeved about this and feel I should 6ft+.

I grew an inch during my AMA pregnancy. So weird. Doc said it was hormones.

I grew a 1/2 inch in college.

Period at 15, but grew almost an inch at 18.

I grew 4 inches after I got my period (at 14). I know that my growth plates closed abnormally late.

It all depends on when she gets her period. If she hasn't had it or just got it, the spurt will come. If not, she is probably done.

This. I hit my adult height at 14, and I think that's pretty typical for girls.

I was done by 13, but I got my period at 11. I'm petite though so there wasn't much growing anyways.

My 14 year old has only grown 1 inch in last 3 years. is this it? or will she hit a growth spurt? I think I grew the most at 15 but my friends say girls are done by 13?
