Am I still able to grow taller at 17? - #50605

Client_3f2bd4

Hello Doctor, I am 17 years old (turning 18 soon). My current height is 4'11". My mother is around 5'2" and my father is around 5'5". I started my periods at 13–14 years old and they are regular. I feel like I have stopped growing for the past few years and I am worried that my height has completely stopped increasing. I am a bit overweight (“chubby”) but otherwise I don’t have any major health issues. I would like to know: Is there still any chance for me to grow taller at this age?
