Honestly, is it possible for me to grow anymore?

Question

I'm 14 and 5 feet 3 inches.

I got my period when I was 12.

My dad is 6'1, mom is 5'0 and my sister is 5'7.

When I got my period I was 5'0 or 5'1, so I've only grown 2 or 3 inches in 2 years!

My doc said girls don't grow much after they get their periods, but this other doctor said that as long as I'm growing a quarter of an inch per year, that I'm still growing.

I don't know what to believe!

Is it possible for me to grow anymore? I really wanna be 5'7, but I don't know if I could POSSIBLY reach that height.

So is it possible for me to grow anymore?

Answer 1

Yes of course, quite possible. Woman do not actually stop growing until their late teens - mid twenties. 5'7 may be a bit of a stretch, but you never know! C: I think 14 or 15 is about when I had a few growth spurts. You'd be amazed at what female body goes through in it's lifetime. Periods don't really have much to do with it, I got mine when I was 14, and I'm still growing taller (5'8 now!).

Answer 2

My mom was the same height all throughout high school and then grew another inch when she was about 24. It's very much a possiblity that you might grow some more.
