Hard to say: The same hormones that tell your body to go through puberty will signal a growth spurt followed by closing the growth centers to begin adult life. Women generally get 5-7 cm of growth after first menses and stop growing taller within 2-3 yrs of that first cycle.A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could show open growth centers, which means you could grow more.If closed,you are done.
