Unlikely: By the time a female is 19, her growing plates are closed and there is no method of increasing growth. You are already taller than an average woman.

Height: Your height is determined mainly by your genetics and optimized by good nutrition.

May be too late but: I'm sorry to tell you most men stop growing around age 18- but occasionally some will grow until age 21 or so. Taking measures to increase your production of growth hormone might help, but if your growth plates have closed (like many 18 yo's) then you've reached your max. But some men do grow a few more inches after 19- see http://tinyurl.com/6pm94xw for natural ways to raise your hormone levels.
