When did your dd stop growing?

Just curious really. I always thought it was about 13 for girls, but my dd is 13 and I think she will probably grow a bit more - I could be wrong but she hasn’t got her period yet and still has quite a childlish figure.

My daughter got her period at 11 and she hasn’t grown much since she was 12. She can still fit into same clothes and shoes. Filled out a bit maybe.

I was 15 when I stopped growing. Dd is 13 and still growing, even though she got her period at 11.

DramaAlpaca · 16/07/2019 20:50

I didn't stop growing until I was 18. My growth slowed down after 14, but I grew another 2 inches over the next four years, ending up at 5'10.

polkadotpixie · 16/07/2019 21:01

I was 5' at 16 and finished up at 5' 3 so some time after that. I started my period at 13 so I don't think the 2 were linked for me

NiLunNiLautre · 16/07/2019 21:08

Think it varies. Growth doesn’t necessarily stop when periods start, though I think it’s mostly finished by then.

I think my older DDs and I were probably about 14. I have a 13 YO who may grow yet as she’s slightly shorter than her sisters and me, but has bigger feet!

Notcontent · 16/07/2019 21:09

Interesting that there is quite a bit of variation.

She's 9, so not yet. I was 5'8 at 11, when I started menstruating, then grew slowly until hitting 5'11.5 ,at 17.

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 16/07/2019 21:14

I think at about the age of 14. She is 5'8.5", size 6 feet. Her periods started when she was 11 and a half.

Spooksandchocolatecake · 16/07/2019 21:16

10 she's just 5 foot😂

Mac47 · 16/07/2019 21:45

Soon ish I hope, costing me a fortune in clothes and shoes! 13, no period yet but 5'7 and size 12, with size 7 feet.

31ruecambon · 16/07/2019 21:48

13 i think
She is 16 now and has been same height for a good while

Titsywoo · 16/07/2019 21:50

I'd say 13 (she started periods at 11). She's only 5ft 2 and very disappointed about it but she hasn't grown in a year or so (nearly 15 now) so I think she's done.

Hoppinggreen · 16/07/2019 21:51

Mine stopped at 13, she’s 5ft 3 and not happy about it.
I was the same, started Secondary school as one of the tallest but then everyone grew and I/she didn’t. Her Dad is over 6ft and his side of the family are all tall so she hoped to be at least 5ft 6 but I dint think it’s happening

Runningintothesunset · 16/07/2019 21:53

I don’t have any DDs, but I didn’t stop growing until my late twenties! DH says I conned him as he was taller than me when we met Grin

StillMedusa · 16/07/2019 21:56

DD1 was 5 ft 8 when she left for University....(started periods at 15) and at the end of the first year was 5 ft 9 1/2! No idea how she was still growing.

DD2 started her periods at 12, stopped growing at about 14 and is 5 ft 3 and feels hard done by Grin

AChickenCalledDaal · 16/07/2019 21:58

She's just coming up to 17 and still going. She was tiny until age 14 and then shot up and hasn't yet stopped.

I think DH would like her to call it a day now, as she's about 1cm shorter than him Grin.

TheFallenMadonna · 16/07/2019 21:58
  1. Same as me. Same height as me too!
MrsCharlesBrandon · 16/07/2019 22:09

DD1 is 15 and possibly still growing slowly (5' 8"). She started her periods about a year ago.
DD2 is nearly 14, no periods yet, still growing (currently 5' 6").

RandomMess · 16/07/2019 22:50

I was post 16 but am still a shorty Sad

DD 2 was 11 and tall completely taking after DH side who are all tall and stopped young. The youngest 2 are definitely slower growers and are still growing at 13 & 15 although perhaps are there now. Still shorter than DD2

BackforGood · 16/07/2019 22:53

dd2 is almost 18 - shes still growing.
I reckon dd1 stopped at about 16 or 17, and then at 19, she seemed to shrink a bit Hmm

DelurkingAJ · 16/07/2019 23:30

I was 5’7” at 11 and stopped at 5’10” by 13.

My DM bought all my school clothes for me to grow into on the basis I would hit 6’...I swam in it.

IncyWincyGrownUp · 17/07/2019 01:45

14, she’s not budged for two years. She’s not happy about it either.
