I think women usually reach their max height by 18. So you've got some more growing to do. Don't sweat it. There's always HGH!

No one can determine how many more inches you'll gain by the time you stop growing, but I think it's safe to say you've got a fair amount to go yet. Some women stop growing sooner than others, though. Honestly, I doubt you're going to be real tall since you're only 5ft. now. I was about 5'6" or 5'7" at 14 and didn't stop growing until I hit 5'10" at about 19 years of age.
The whole "two inches after starting your period" thing is a load of crap. It definitely was in my situation. I started my period when I was 12 and probably only 5'5" or 5'6".....so I grew another 4-5 inches after starting my period.

Same here.. and I heard that you only grow about 2 inches after that. I have grown about half an inch. I think that all the major leaps in growth are over but you might see a small gradual change in size as you get older.

you might grow another inch or two but not much more. Most girls stop growing two years after they started their periods.
