Female growth period: It varies per each child & depends on the age of onset of puberty and ossification of the growth plates. Girls usually grow slowly after onset of peuberty after the inital growth spurt, for a few years but each child is different.

It depends: Most girls have their fastest growth rate for 2 years before and 2 years after they start their first period. After that time, the growth rate slows down and eventually the height stabilizes.

Depends: Young women should enter puberty as evidenced by nipple enlargement from 9-13 and have menses by no later than 15. Women generally grow 2.5 inches after first menses, which is age 16 or so for most.
