Maybe: The average woman will grow 2.5 inches (5cm) after menses. The hormones that trigger menses also begin the process of finishing linear growth. The estimate of genetic height would be 5'2.5" based on parental numbers listed. Yet she may not reach that height if her growth centers close.An xray of her wrist and hand could be assessed for growth centers and help see if more growth is possible.
