Answers:
You are already a little above the average height for a woman, but you might have another inch to go. Time will tell. Meanwhile, work to make the most of good posture, hair styles, and even shoes. You'll look like a model at your height and weight.Health Question & Answer

Very unlikely :( sorry.
Most female growth stops within a few years after your period and you're already tall, so i don't think you've got any growing left in you.


But the only way to know FOR SURE is to have xrays taken. Your bones grow because they have growth plates in them, which are cartilage strips. The cartilage turns to bone and more cartilage is produced until you're done growing. When xrays are taken, the cartilage doesn't show up so the ends of your bones would look like they have cracks in them, but it really just means you're growing.



Anyway, that would probably be costly and a lot to go through just to find out whether or not you're going to grow that extra inch...
But hey. I hope you get taller since it seems to mean a lot to you :)!Health Question & Answer
