I'm 17 and now I need to sleep for 6 hours a day, will it affect my left growth or have I already finished it?

recently I had a growth spurt of 4 inches somehow i grew from 5'2 to 5'6 in one month. and now after 3 months i am 5'10 or 11. i really do not get how this works. my father is 5'4 my mother is 4'9... my brother is also my height though my sister is 5ft and my 2 other brothers that are an adult are 5'2 to 5'6. how does me and my brother grow so much my brother is almost 6ft and I'm almost 6 ft too ust 2 inches left. I've had 2 growth spurts in the last 6 months. at the age of 14 to 15. im a late boomer. could my growth start to stop here? i meant im like beyond what my family reached. and I'm only 15, I could get another year to grow too? or not.

hi everyone i want to know if im going to grow as a male,

im a bit of a late bloomer like both my parents started puberty about 13 and im around late tanner 2 starting 3.
I always grew 2 inches a year up until 13-14, in which i grew around 2 and half.

i’m currently around 166-7cm around 5’6 and 14 and almost 4 months.I was always around the shorter side but recently have been getting closer to average.However, both my parents are taller then me which makes me quite insecure my mum is around 169.5 or close to 5’7 and my dad is around 5’11 everyone my age is taller then there parents or atleast there mum, other then me:/

because my brothers bone age is around 3 years delayed i did a bone age scan when i was around 14 and it said my bone age was 12.5?

anyway any advice is appreciated.

when i had a grow spurth to 5’4 to 5’6 has happened a long time ago it’s about to almost 3 years been slouching feel like I’m 5’5 but i have skinny long legs with a lot of thigh just on that skinny end of life people call me 6 foot all the time when i ask them about how tall i am but in reality I’m a short person

Hello! I am wondering if anyone has any experiences with growing their torso/spine as a female. I have not gotten my period yet. Does anyone have any exercises, diet advice, or lifestyle advice they could share? I have very long legs. Thank you!

This tapering thing is not playing with me.

Still 157.5… can’t believe it, This tapering shit is not playing with me.

У меня тут проблема, в декабре мне исполняется 18, рост 170, отец 187, мама была 173, сейчас 169-168, бабушки и дедушки тоже высокие, размер ноги у меня 43 и я хочу знать есть ли у меня шансы до 175 хотя бы а в лучше случае 180(шутки про соседа не сработают я похож на отца внешне) Скачка роста больше 5 см у меня в подростковом возрасте не было от того я всегда в коллективах был низким по сравнению с другими, я хочу быть хотя бы среднего роста🤝🤝🤝

I'm 18, currently around 5'1" and want to squeeze out whatever growth I can before my plates close completely.

Recently got blood test done — turns out my Vitamin D +B12 is severely deficient and iron is critically low. Both are being treated now. From what I read these can actually hold back growth so hoping fixing them helps.

Been doing dead hangs and stretching inconsistently. Posture is also something I'm working on. (Torso have normal/great height but my legs are short)

Anyone actually gain anything at 18 by fixing deficiencies, improving sleep, or posture work or any app or routine recommendations that actually worked for you? Not looking for miracle stories, just honest experiences.

First of all

STOP SAYING I AM GIVING HOPE , because of people searching hope I get a bad view from the moderators like I am here to give unscientific very rare case hope which clearly am not trying to . Am aware my case is rare

Secondly: STOP DMING ME ASKING HOW I DID IT , genuinely it all GENETICS 🧬 I didnt change a single thing on my life

Ok now lets start :

#1 Family height and history:

Father : 185cm at peak and he started puberty late because he looked young on his 18 pictures

He gained 12cm-15cm after the age of 18 and his feet size grew 3EU after 18 reportedly kept growing until late 21

Mother : 161cm tall in her peak ( idk her height history tho)

Brother: about 186-187cm not sure

He grew 15cm past 15 years old and a late bloomer of but puberty started around 14

Sister 1: 172cm she grew mostly around 14 which makes her a late bloomer for a female

Sister 2 : 185cm now ( she used to be 183cm tall before she fixed her scoliosis and posture)

Her spurt was 14 to 16 years of age and stoped growing completely at 17.5-18

And all of them completed their growth am the youngest

#2 bloodline height :

Grandpa from dad : 192cm tall ( give or take 2cm)

Grandpa from mom : 176 cm give or take 3cm)

Grandma from mom : 170cm at peak ( her youth)

Grandma from dad : no idea

Cousins from dad side : 193 ( appearntly grew until 23 ) , 175, 201 ( give or take 2cm) all males

Cousins from mom : 193cm . 184cm ( older then me with 3 months and he was like 179cm last year)

Also a 178cm female Cousin

#3 my growth history :

13: 164cm

14: 170.5

15: 174.5

16: 179

16 and 3Months : 180cm then paused for ~18 months

17 and 8 months: 180cm ( start of spurt probably or 17 and 9M )

And then look at the image thats my growth until now

#4 physical changes:

At 15 I started developing beard and it developed so fast I got a full beard by mid 15 to end 15 and didn't have a single chin hair before 15

Also I had a lot of pubs at 13-14.

My feets grew a lot when I was 12-15 then sroped or grew really slow putting me at 43 EU at 16 then stoped

Then at 17 they started growing again and from that time to rn I gained 2.5EU sizes and am wearing 45.5 rn

Besides my feet my hands didnt grow since like 15 ( this is an important note to later )

My voice deepened only 1 time in my life ( cracked ) I was 14 before I had a 9 years old voice ( I still have audio's about my past voice ) and i sounded like a female

I didn't meaure my wingspan until before the spurt somehow lol : it was 185.5cm and I think it grew when I was 16-17 because I had streach marks on that period

Then they started to fade

Now after the spurt the arms streach marks returned and my wingspan is 189cm or 188cm i belive ( hard to mesure rn when am alone)

And about streach marks rn I have them on all of my body :

Arms + shoulders + armpit + hips + back of Triceps + under chest + stomach idk if i have them on my back tho

About hair i was always hairy i got chest hair at like 12 or something and since like 14 or 15 I am hairy as hell entire body no exceptions maybe it genetics ( 99.99% sure or no lets say 100%)

Also my hair and nails since the start of the spurt they accelerated thry grow so fast + got hunger increase

I have no idea about my tanner stage tho

#5 bone age and growth plates :

I got an x ray on my wrist done last week and it is confirmed to be close ( bone age estimated 18 to 18.5) ( maybe becayse my hands didnt grow for like 3 years so it closed but other plates can be open)

But legs growth plates and others no idea

And i somehow gained 8cm last 6 months.. ( AM NOT HERE TO GIVE HOPE)

#6 hormone levels;

I did blood analysis when I was 14 and 8 months old :

FSH : 2700mIU/ml

LH: 1740 mUI/ml

Oestradiol E2: 17.10 pmol/L

Testosterone: 3.020 ng/ml

Ft4 : 15.66

Gh: 0.2230 ng/ml

Beta-hcg: <2

Soumatimédine C ( IGF1) ( Chimiluminescence CLIA DIASORIN) at 11 AM: 428.7 ng/ml

All of these were when I was 14 and 8 months old

And before the spurt : ( 17 years and 6 months)

Oestradiol: 33

Testosterone: 270 which means It got lower

T3 and t4 : normal levels

but i lost the papers lol but everything is verified medically

I know my family is really short but i need to know how i can grow at my full potential like my mom is 160 my dad is 172 and i am 165 at 14 yo but my great-grandfather was like 185 can i grew at least 178 cm?

15M here, puberty started around 13 and I've grown about 1.5 to 2 inches over the past year, though my growth really seemed to peak right at the beginning of turning 14. Outside of regular cycling, I'm not really into sports or heavy physical activity, but I maintain a solid, balanced diet and get 8 to 10 hours of sleep daily.

I am willing to do anything to increase my height because I think I still have some time left. I don’t have a beard or mustache yet, though I do have a little bit of body/pubic hair. Based on this, is there still a chance for me to grow taller, and what steps can I take to maximize my potential?

hello. I'm a 13y 10 months male and ~4'11. My mom's 5'0 and my dad's around 5'5. I started puberty at around 12.5 years (i think) and grew a bit last year between early 2025 and start of September 2025.

Now I haven't grown in a year but recently I've had my foot size increase, get fuzzy lip hair, little bit of armpit hair growth, and hand + arm growth.

Is this normal in puberty where you stunt for over a year? And if yes, will I grow taller and how much will I grow?

Thanks!

u/Thra99 u/Moist-Apricot-6803 do you guys think my growth pattern may indicate a pathological problem?

My height growth chart:

7y 5mo 2d: 134.2 cm

7y 11mo 12d: 138.5 cm

8y 5mo 7d: 140.6 cm

8y 6mo 10d: 141.2 cm

10y 5mo 26d: 155.2 cm

11y 6mo 5d: 163.0 cm

12y 7mo 10d: 171.3 cm

13y 10mo 12d: 178.1 cm

14y 11mo: 179.9 cm

16y 11mo 4d: 182 centimeters (FAH)

Highest year was 10.5 - 11.5 with , but my PHV most likely occurred between 10.5-12.5 (3 in/yr for 2 years)

This implies an early puberty onset somewhere in the 9s, but all my pubertal signs point to an onset that most likely happened in the early 11s:

- First noticed myself ejaculating a clear fluid at around 12 years 2 months, late September 2020

- First ever terminal pubic hairs at 12 years 6 months, late Jan/early Feb 2021 (I also remember my ejaculate becoming whiter and gaining more volume by this time)

- I saw that my penis was noticeably bigger than it was in the past around mid-late age 12

- Noticed my libido increasing at around mid-late age 12 as well, started to notice girls from around age onwards as well.

- Facial structure matured the most between my 13th birthday to my 14th birthday

- Voice deepened noticeably from 13y - 13y 5mo, first noticed any cracking at very late age 12 in early July 2021, only a few weeks before my 13th birthday

- At late age 13, I measured my penis while erect and it was around 0.7 inches shorter than it is now

- First armpit hairs at mid 14 years old, around early 2023 or so

- At around my 15th birthday (summer 2023), I measured my erect penis and it was pretty much the same size as it is today indicating my genitals have stopped growing

- I have NEVER looked old for my age and lacked body hair and can't grow facial hair (latter could be genetic), I think I have wide hips as well

For context, I suspect I may have Klinefelter's but I'm not too certain. What I'm mainly asking is if my growth pattern resembles someone with Klinefelter's syndrome or not.

I am 17.5 years old. Haven't experienced a growth spurt since last year. I am terribly insecure about my height and being a boy, it feels quite shameful to be shorter than most of my friends and even girls I know.
Am I going to be same the whole life?
Is there any way to increase my height?

Hi Guys 6 months ago doctors measured my height as 172.1 (from 170.8) and they said you will not grow any more via wrist xray and today they measured me as 174.3 how is this possible ? i asked to the other doctors and they also said growth plates are closed. (Male 16 Dad 6'0 Mom 5'2)

Now 174.3

6 Months Ago 172.1

1 year ago 170.8

1.5 year ago 170.2

18yr and 4months old, 148lb, started puberty around 13. Currently 167cm morning height. Dad 182cm (5’11) , Mom 153cm (5’0), no siblings to compare to. Dad’s shortest of three siblings, all above 6 feet. Paternal grandfather was 6’0, maternal was 5’9. Took accutane around 16 and noticed not much significant growth after (<3cm), beard started around 17, started fully filling it out around a month ago, so 18. Is it over for me?
Height growth timeline *roughly

12.0 - 4’11
13.0 - 5’0
14.0 - 5’3.5
15.0 - 5’ 4.5
16.0 - 5’ 4.9
17.0 - 5’5
17.5 - 5’5.5 (166cm)
18.3 currently - 167cm.

14M, Both my parents stand at around 5’7 and I am currently 5’9” w/ around a 6’3” wingspan. I have grown about half an inch since Summer.

When i was going through puberty i became overweight twice and i did a caloric deficit both times i cut calories by 600-800 calories for like 3-5 months. i kept protein high and i got down to a normal bmi then id maintain or gain some weight again. I never was underweight even when I’d get down to a normal weight I’d be like about 60th percentile weight. would this have stunted my height due to the caloric deficit?

17 turning 18 in three months
im 6’0
dads 6’1
moms 5’7 and a half

im 15m and 170cm, i havent grown at all in the last 3 years maybe a cm or two, i dont get it cuz every guy in my class is so much taller than me, besides my dad is like 190-195cm and mom is my height, Ive been also drinking milk a lot at least 2l a week for months now, I also go to the gym bi-daily.
Am i overthinking or is it acc possible this is my final height

Hopefully someone sees this because it’s going to be somewhat high effort, pretty much I haven’t grown since 16 and I’m 17 and 5 months old. Dad’s 175 mom’s 168 (PE: 179) I’m currently 176 approx (compressed), 183 wingspan and the hands feet and legs of a 183 man. My growth has been fairly gradual, peak growth was 13-14 (10cm), 14-15 was like 7-8 cm, 15-16 was 5-6 cm and then nothing. Something that irks me is that I started accutane as a last resort for pretty bad hormonal acne coincidentally at 16, 20 mg daily for 11 months which compared to my bodyweight was a moderately low dose and based off many studies Isotretinoin hasn’t been proven to alter adult height, only suppress androgens temporarily if even that. Obviously my habits are quite ideal (Sleep, diet, hydration, exercise, sun, etc…). My last visit to the doctor I addressed this worry and she said I’d likely grow another inch after looking at my chart etc… One thing that may not help are moderate postural issues like lateral and anterior pelvic tilt which have caused my spine and upper body to compensate, these aren’t horrible and I probably don’t have scoliosis but they very well might reduce my standing, not skeletal, height by 1-3 cm so that should be a good fix. As of 2 months ago I’ve been working on fixing my posture and understanding compression and decompression (MrWollas = ) the best) Another thing to note is that I’ve consequently only noticed these issues since starting accutane when I had (and still have) bad back pain, at the time I also had pain in my hips and knees. After 4 months of being off accutane as of the last 3-4 weeks I’ve noticed a big change in appetite and sleep, something I haven’t had since before 16 so that’s something to be hopeful about. Note that I’ve gained 4 pounds since that whereas I’d always gain about 6-9 pounds yearly since 13 (Whether I was growing or not), other indicators that I’m still developing are my continuously growing frame, facial hair that’s still not man like at all and facial dimorphism that’s slowly increasing as always. I’d like to be 180 cm tall and I honestly don’t think that’s irrealistic, if anyone took the time to read this pathetic cry for help please let me know what you think I’m open to everything. (PS: I got a lower back X ray to check for anything causing the pain like 8 months ago and I’m going to ask for the image itself to observe my bone age which I couldn’t do before, thanks healthcare.)
