Dose menses begin later allow girls to grow stop growing tall slower? dose borning in the end of the month baby grow slower than others do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Growth cntrs close: Menses starts the clock on final growth as the hormones that support menses signal the growth centers to begin closing. A girl will grow another 2.5 inches after first menses on average. Timing of birth within the month has no impact on growth.
