♥Can girls have growth spurts even if they have their period???
I'm 13 and 5ft. I weight about 103 to 104 pounds...will I get a growth spurt???? When and how many inches will I evetually grow? Take a guess.....?????
Yes. Girls can keep growing well into their late teens. Just because you've had your period doesn't mean that puberty is over. To guess how tall you would get I'd have to know how tall your parents are. You will most closely take after one of them. Me for instance, I took after my mother. She is 5ft 4 and my dad is 6ft. I am about 5ft tall, and am 24 so definately no more growing for me!
My period began when I was 13. I was about 5' 4" foot and 100 pounds. It has been 5 years and I am now 5' 11" and 140 pounds. I put on 7 inches in five years and 40 pounds. Not bad. My BMI is 19. (normal is 18-24) You will probably grow some more. You still have your teenage years left. How much you grow will depend greatly on your genetics. My family is tall. Thus I am tall. If your family is short chances are you will be short. There is a small chance you can be tall and the rest of your family be short but not a big chance. Also eating healthy tends to encourage growth more than junk food. I would take a guess at how tall you would be but it is easy to be wrong and that wouldn't be fair to you. I am a good example. Most people guessed I would be 5'8". As you can see I have beat that and I may put on another inch and be 6 foot before I stop growing. Good Growing!
i was told by my pediatrician, that you usually stop growing about 2 yrs after you start your period...you might grow a little more after those 2 years but not much..so depending when you started you might only grow a couple more inches...but i had reached my peak height by the time i was on my period and grew about one more inch after that...

7 inches at most
How tall are you parents? Chances are you will be in between them.
