Does starting your period at an early age stop growth sooner?

Question

I got my period when I was eleven, though it wasn't regular or as often. My doctor says that girls who start their periods early result in reaching adult height sooner. Is it true?

Answer 1

well i got my period when i was in 4th grade and i stoped growing at age 13

but i still think u grow but not as fast as others

its a normal thing

dont worry about it

Answer 2

I don't know if it's true, but I got my period when I was 9. Regular every month since then, and I am 5' 7 tall now.

I'd assume this is the right-ish height for me as my mum is 5'6 and my dad is 6'.

My sister started her period when she was 13 and she is a little taller than me (5'8) but that is hardly a difference.

While I possibly had the potential to grow another inch or 2, I'm not exactly stunted in the growth department from starting my period at an early age.
