Maybe,maybe not : Women will generally grow 2.5 inches or 5 cm after their first period. The hormones that signal your development and trigger menses also tell the growth centers in your bones to start closing.After closure, you are done.An xray of your wrist and hand can be evaluated for open growth centers and if present you can grow taller if not, you are done.
