No,bones done growin: Bones stop growing in women 2-3 years after the onset of menstruation. Most men stop growing about age 18, though some grow up to age 21. At these times the growth plates disappear and its impossible for bones to grow any further. Bones can become more dense until age 30, which is why you might have heard they "grow," but they don't get any larger in size.
