Hi!

I know you said only girls but this is something I know a lot about as it's my job, lol.

You will get most of your growth in the three years following onset of periods - this is why early puberty often means a shorter final height. Further growth after this is not impossible but it won't be much as the growth plates (where your bones lengthen) fuse closed after this.

Hope this helps

Usually, typically you may only grow another inch or two after you hit your period unless you are before 10 yrs old or older than 14 yrs old. When you start your period it causes your sex hormones (estrogen) to increase and your sex hormones tell your bones growth plates to harden so they stop growing. The same thing happens in guys but this happens when they start releasing more testostrone.Health Question & Answer
