I was under the impression that girls stop growing once their cycle regulates. My friend seems to think that they continue to grow (in height) up to a certain age. Does anyone know the answer?

I am still not regular and I am 28 years old now, but I did grow an extra inch between the ages of 20-23, weird, huh?

All I can go by is what my daughter did. She started her period very early, 10-1/2. She was about 5'2" or 5'3" at the time. Her periods came faithfully every month and she continued to grow until she was 14 or 15 and is now 5'10".

I continued to grow until approximately 18 years of age. I don't think it has anything to do with the monthly cycle.

its not true.
girls now start menstruating younger and younger because of all the hormones in food.
some girls grow till they are 21, some stop growing early.

You can still grow. I had my last growth at 20.
