Is it possible to have a pause in growth then start growing again?
As a kid up until I was 14 I was growing steady and normal pace, comparable to my brother and father who are both 6’1. Then from 14-15 I only grew like .5 inch and now I am 18 at 5’7 still haven’t grown since. So I was wondering if there could be a pause then a resume in growth that is possible. Also I was diagnosed with chrons at 16 almost 17 years old so that could’ve maybe been active delaying growth. Please let me know, thanks!

Hey mate when did you start puberty? I started at around 11.5-12.5 then grew steadily up to 14 and then paused and grew maybe about .5 inch up to today. Im 15.4 rn and still stuck i think i might grow again. Im currently 5 9.5 my mom is 5 7 and dad is 6
@fuhrer99 not 100% sure but I think around 13-13.5 is when I started puberty
@jonmike319 so your spurt only lasted 1-1.5 years? You either mustve grown a lot or should get checked. Its likely you will see more growth
@fuhrer99 yes growth was pretty steady maybe a tiny bit delayed as a kid but then the spurt at 14-15 was very quick and seems to be cut short.
