Some of my friends grew around the age of 20
It was a few years after starting their period

My dd got her period at 16 and grew another half inch that year.

Yes. Two of my DD's grew at that age, after period started. I wouldn't be surprised if next DD does too.

One DD went from 5 ft to 5'5 after getting her period. Other DD stayed petite, but grew an inch.

Absolutely!! And so did I! I actually just had a well visit with my 16 yr old and the Dr told her she's still gonna be growing. She said for up to 2 years from when you start getting your period you're still going to grow!

yes almost 2 inches but she got her period late. It depends on the age they get their period.

My DD got her period at 11. No, by 18 she was not still growing.

Girl’s typical growth-and it is not everyone, as each individual is different, for about 2 years and about 2 inches after the onset of their first menses.

I got by 11 and grew maybe another half inch at that same year at 5”5 and stopped growing since. My classmates caught up with me within the next 2-3 years I don’t know ppl who were still growing at 16

My dd got her period age 14, shes now 18 and still growing! I was told most girls grow 2 inches after period but that was not the case with my dd. She grew much more than 2 inches

I got my period at 13 and barely grew in high school, if at all.

My mother got her period at 11 and grew until 18.

I got my period just before turning 12 and grew another 3in in the next 2-3years then stopped. I did keep developing until 18/19 though and went from a C cup to a DDD. Not all growth is height.
