A member asked:

Hi! my daughter is 13 and is currently 5'1/154cm. she started puberty at 9, got her period at age 11 (4'7/142cm). i was wondering if she could still grow? i'm 5'3/160cm (fyi i got my period at 13, stopped growing at 18) and her dad is 5'4/164cm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The expected final female height is the average of both parents less 2.5 inches, making her now at her expected height. Further height would depend on open growth centers. A single x-ray of her wrist/hand could be examined for growth centers. If open=more growth, if closed, she is finished. I would not expect much more growth at this point.
