I was the same height at 16 and i got my period at 13 too. I am now 19 and still the same height so if your like me yes your most likely done growing but you can never know if you are or not for sure. Womens bodies continue to grow until the age of 21.
Hope this Helps!

Perhaps A few. I'm 14, started my period at 12, and have been 4'10'' all the time.

i think you should stay where you are
your pretty tall

girls actually grow the most during the 10ish ages then slow down but growth normally doesnt stop until your 18-20 more or less so you have nothing to worry about just eat healthy and stretch if you want to grow more.

wow, well i should think you will start SHRINKING! yes, i have seen this before in a patient of mine, the had the same features as yourself and they shrunk to around 1 foot tall. If i were you i would buy some baby clothes, sorry for the bad news, but your gonna need them!

maybe 1 - 1 1/2 inches but not much more, dont worry 5'6 is a really good height

Was the 'two cm in three months' the last three months? It really depends considering how everyone has their growth sperts at different times and grow to become different heights. Unless you haven't had a major growth spert in the last year or so, I'd say you were done. 5'6'' is a good height.

You've probably reached your maximum height.

According to the Gray Method for estimating your height, it comes in at an average of 5'4". Using the KGH method (factors in nutrition), I need to know your weight, but if you are 130 lbs. or above, then you are done. If you are really skinny, then you may gain another inch but the odds are really slim.

You have probably reached your peak height already as girls usually stop growing 2 or 3 years after their fist period.
