A member asked:
After the start of menstrual cycle does the girl stop growing in height?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Usually there is 18 months to 2 years of growth still present after onset of cycle. Rarely growth goes a little longer.

More to go: The average girl will grow an additional 2.5 inches or 5 cm after the first menses. Linear growth is possible until the growth centers close in response to hormonal changes.This takes longer in some than others.
