Still grows but...: Menarche, start of menstruation, follows growth spurt. Girls continue to grow, 3-5 inches more.

Most girls grow: for about 2 years after they start menstruating, but it is a slower growth than prior. The biggest growth spurt is generally during the year before the first period.
