Do some girls continue to grow after they start their periods...?

Question

Do some girls have their growth spurt after their period starts..or do some still continue to slowly grow?

Answer 1

Hi,humn growth is contolled by hormone in body."Growth Hormone" from your thyoid will secrete this hormone until the age of 18-19 yrs (for girls) and 20-22 (for guys).In that case,menstrution doesnt play any role in your growth.Period only stimulate production of other hormone and the main changes happen are pubic hair growth,armpit hair,changes in voice and as well your body shape.

Answer 2

Females typically grow until 18 years of age, where as males grow until 21 usually because there growth spurts happen later after girls. That is why 6th and 7th grade dances are so funny. Because most of the girls have already started puberty and the boys haven't.

Answer 3

Most girls start their periods around 12-13 years of age. But if they stopped growing we would all be full grown around sixth grade. It depends on the person but some kids have more than one growtrh spurt. Some don't have one and grow slowly. Just give it time.

Answer 4

Yes, you can continue to grow after you start your period. I was only eleven when I started my period, and I believe I grew about five inches after that. I also put on some weight right after I started my period that I lost a year or two later.

Answer 5

Yes of course. I grew almost half a foot after I got mine. That growth spurt didn't happen till about to years later.

Since many girls get their first periods between 12-14 and you stop growing between 16-18, you've got some distance to cover.

Answer 7
