Question 2

can i still grow taller after 18?

Puberty: Most males stop growing taller by around age 18 and for most girls it is around 16 to 17 years old. However, this varies – especially if the person entered puberty late.

Question 3

is it possble for a woman to still grow taller after having a baby?

Accepted Answer

Have not heard of ?: I have not heard of this. As long as you have completed your normal growth curve, it is unlikely that you will grow any more after having children. Although most women complete their growth curves by the time they are 18, growth is possible until 23 witout the use of supplemental growth hormones. Therefore if you have a child younger than 23, it is possible that you may grow more but highly improb.

Accepted Answer

Depends on your : Stage of puberty. If adult stage v, you may grow 1-2" more, at most.

Question 5

can girls still grow taller after puberty? heard that some girls still increase height after 20 yr old.

Accepted Answer

Growth: Girls usually start slowing down around 18-19 years there may be a few instances till the age 20 yr. Puberty is much earlier - so yes they can still grow.

Question 6

can i still grow taller at age 25?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Most all humans have reached full adult height by age 25 years.  Growth plates close for boys/men between the ages of 16 and 21.  This is determined largely by genetics. Your doctor can perform an x-ray to be absolutely certain what the status of your growth plates are.  Good wishes:)

Question 7

can a 22year old female still grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you've completed puberty you aren't likely to grow taller.  Girls complete puberty by ages 15 to 17 & for boys it is by ages 16 to 17. However, if one enters puberty late, they will usually also complete it late.

Question 8

can a female still grow taller 18 and older ?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Your growth occurs through "growth plates" in your bones. By 18, these growth plates have almost always closed in females. Very occasionally are still a tiny bit open in males. If it has been 2-3 years since the onset of your periods. Your growth is done. You are where you are at this point and i bet you are a wonderful person.

Question 9

please tell me, could i still grow taller at age 15?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It all depends on where you are in puberty.  Some boys who are late bloomers grow a lot from 15 to 18 years old.  Girls, tend to start puberty earlier, and are less likely to grow after 15, but it's still possible.

Question 10

please tell me if you can still grow taller at age 19?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to happen: Some kids continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist ; hand can yield a bone maturity.Most boys stop at 17. When you have reached bony maturity, you are done.
