I have a few questions I am just curious:
How tall was your daughter around the time that she got her period ?
At what age did your daughter get her first period ?
How much taller did she grow afterwards ?

I was 11.5 when I got my period, I grew about 3 inches in the year following and then was done. I'm 5'4".

My dd was also 11.5 when she got her first period, and maybe grew an inch in the year that followed. She's almost 15 now and it looks like she's going to be around, or just under 5' 2"...which is surprising because she was always very tall compared to her friends.

TBH, I was too, and I assumed she'd be at least as tall as I am, but I guess not. *shrug*

Oldest got hers at 10 almost 11. She was 5' at the time. I thought this meant she would be short because everyone told me girls don't grow so much after their periods.

She wound up 5'8", which was what we expected before she got her period so early.

A mother blushpink that is really unexpected, my daughter was 5'1 when she got her period and her pediatrician is telling me not to expect her to grow more than 3 more inches.

I grew an estimated four inches after I got mine. I got it relatively early and am on the taller side.

DD started at 12, and grew 3 inches, which is about average.

I started at 14, and grew about one inch. I think that's average for a late starter. My sister was the same.
