Hard to say: Most women finish growing within 3 years of their first menses or 3 inches from that point.Both parents influence your height, and for you it would be estimated at the average of both,less 2.5 in. If you entered puberty late, you may grow some but most women finish by 16-17.A visit to the doc with testing could see if more could be done.
