(ima girl btw) I’m 14, 8 months, and im 5’3 and haven’t grown at all since i turned 14 in december of 2022 and it is now august 17th, 2023. last summer i was 130 lbs and i have gotten a lot more active since then, im also a multi sport athlete and used to run laps and miles around my neighborhood and i lift weights- i went into a caloric deficit along with working out last year and in total lost about 20-23 lbs, my lowest being 107lbs but now im back up to 113, trying to gain weight because my mom and i think i may have stunted my growth. I also lost my period for two months last year, september-october, got it back rly light in november, and haven’t had it again since december of last year. we talked to a doctor and all she said was i need to gain weight to get my period back and that i probably won’t grow higher. (my mom is 5’5 and my dad is 6-6’1) my main worry is that i stunted my growth and im worried that i won’t continue growing but i really need to get taller because i am a goalkeeper and need to be atleast 5’7- im going into my freshman year of highschool and im wondering if i continue to gain weight, hopefully just muscle weight though, is it possible that i will keep growing? or maybe i can still hit a growth spurt?
