never heard of this before,....
as a medical professional I don't believe your period determines growth

I think you mean that you want to know if you are finished growing once your period starts. Right now your question makes it sound like you want to know if you get taller every month after your period.
Girls grow until about age 16. Boys grow until 19ish. Your growth spurts will slow as you age. Make sure you eat healthy nourishing foods to assist your growth. The most you'd add would be an inch or inch and a half at your age.

wow. i'm 12 goin on 13 and i got my period 2 years ago. yes, you do go through a growth spurt. i was about... 5'1 before mine, and now i'm 5'6. you do go through a pretty good growth spurt, but you get like, 1 inch a month. i had mine november 2005. so yeah... you just kinda...shoot up the first year, then ya slow down a bit, but you still grow. and uh... happy pmsing!!! (that probably really means 'pass me my shotgun')

You should grow until your about 18-19. Usually you grow 1-2 inches between this time so you most likely be 5'6'' to 5'7''

It has nothing to do with growth, if your genetics are programmed to grow more, you will grow more, if not, you won't, but they are not related. You will grow until 18, 19 0r 20... sometimes until 22. Be patient

I caught up in high school, but we weren't dating then.
