How much taller will a girl grow after her first period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Expect 2.5 inches: Most will grow another 2.5 inches (5 cm) after the first cycle. Some a bit more or less, but the hormonal events bringing on menses begin signiling the growth plates to close, which ends linear growth.
