Am I going to hit a growth spurt?

[mltn2mtn]

I js turned 17 last week, bone age is 16.4-16.5, I’m 5”7, and my knee growth plates r open. Dad’s 6”1.5, mom is 5”0.5. Moms parents r 5”5 and 5”20, dads parents r 5”5 and 6”0. This week I finally started to develop more visible facial hair, and I’ve been tired, with 8 hours of sleep.

Could I maybe hit 5”9 or is it over? I also look like 15-15.5 rn

5'9 max

5'9 max

Really? I feel like there r a lot of other individuals with similar height genetics as me, and they end up 5”9-5”11.

no one can say whats gonna happen for sure
people can only make educated guesses
so dont listen to anyone who says youll definitely grow or you definitely wont

Fair enough, I mean my uncle followed similar puberty to me and grew 3 inches at 17.5 but he’s only 5”7.5. And had low test + maybe a gh deficiency, my moms sister is 5”6 so idk.

no such thing as height genetics its rlly cope lol height polygenic which is what makes it 150% unpredictable. no matter what someone says it's fucking unpredictable.

For example, (to what i said previously) it just depends on how much of which gene you inherit. This also explains why there's siblings that literally have the same "height genes" as you but can be taller or shorter because it depends if they get the recessive gene more or the dominant one more.

It’s really not as simple as recessive genes for dominantes ones though

Also this just isn't true, it's only true for people who have a lower bone age. if it was at 15 then I'd say it's unpredictable as that's 2 years of growth. any meaningful bone growth usually stops at 17.5 bone age so he has 1 year of growth lol if he tried to pick up the growth i'd take months for him to even optimise growth pathways. to ramp up his growth, and the rest is him actually growing which is not efficient.

How bro

 

[cometohaunted]

How is it not? lmao you can say it isnt as simple when it comes to epigenetics playing a factor but those only factor in 1-2 inches. You're more than likely optimal in that regard if you don't live in a 3rd world country. also when I say height genes is cope i just mean in the sense people use formulas from their parents as a predictor when it doesnt work because you can be way above or below it depending on gene inheritance. so yeah there's other factors but the end all be all is dominant/recessive

 

[cometohaunted]

How bro

went for a 5' why would he even do that lmao

You’ll be 5’8. Now mark me solution

Most people end up around there mid parental height +-2 inches bro id say this goes for 90% of individuals ik.

90% is insane bhai it's definitely lower lol there's a lot of people a lot higher than their mid parental height which is why it's outdated. doctors use khamis roche now

 

[mltn2mtn]

Idk my dad was like a lmtn front, ltn side but 6”1.5 with wide clavicles and a good frame. My mom had a lhtb side and mtb front so like she brought up the face genetics and saved my side profile but def not heigjt.

 

[mltn2mtn]

My doctors told me I’ll end up 5”9-5”11 for years until the past 2, but I didn’t even hit puberty till 15.5 heigjt prediction is prolly impossible

Also with mid parental, the reason they had plus height and negative height is because the formula itself isn't accurate since they instinctively know that it just depends on random gene inheritance ultimately hence the range. some even go to +/- 4 inches because of how much variation there could be

Yeah but I refuse to believe I got that unlucky, ik someone with a 5”3 mom 5”7 dad who’s 5”10.

Yeah it's not possible at all. Also the real factor here is bone age. I know it feels better to cope i was in your position too boyo but we can't cope at all costs lmao just start accepting it from now. Since you said your bone age is 16.4 you genuinely have 1 year of meaningful bone growth left

if we wanted to nitpick the bone actually doesnt literally fuse until around 19 but this is just a small transitionary period where you get negligible height gains which is why doctors say 17.5 because it barely changes after that.

Thats what variation is for. also parental epigenetics.

Brodie I don’t think I can accept being 5”7-5”8 it’s acc ropefuel. My clavicles are also very narrow now and I have more childlike proportions, maybe it’s not over? What should I do to optimize my height at this point tho.

Oh no you won't be 5'7, I was saying you'd be 5'9 max

Sleep, eat a lot of protein and pray. hgh/ai's r cope especially short term like this

Relatively the same thing 5”9 still isn’t a good height.

None of the other pubertal markers will matter as your bone age is confirmed. the only reason pubertal markers ever matter is because bones work with your hormonal timeline which your puberty time also works off of. But if your bone age is higher than what your pubertal age sounds like then the pubertal signs are irrelevant.

Your estradiol could've been insanely high genetically

5'9 is good. It's average, depending on where you are

Not even trying to be weird but if my meat is still growing, and shoe size increasing is that a good sign or no?

It’s not good, I live in America I have multiple friends that r 6”1+

 

[cometohaunted]

Yeah that’s a good sign, feet usually stop growing first. You grow from your extremities to the trunk so your femur and spine grow last

Alright fair enough, my dads a size 13 moms a women’s 7. My shoe size has gone up 1.5 in the past year and I’m a 9
Rn.

Eh 5’9 isn’t particularly GOOD but it’s not bad at all. It’s average. When I was 5’9 I felt quite tall honestly and I’m in the uk so we have the same stats

I heard the uk is really ethnic now though that could be the reason why

Yeah so confirms you’re still growing. However much that growth will happen we’ll never know. Also what’s your age?

I js turned 17 last week, but look two years younger id say and was a late bloomer.

Yes it’s really ethnic. But the native English people are not even tall either the blacks carry the uk in terms of height. Anecdotal at least

Unlucky. Late bloomer and not even getting the late bloomer spurt is sad. I’d say there’s like a 0.01% chance you grow more than 2 inches

 

[mltn2mtn]

No I got a semi late bloomer growth spurt, I went from 5”1 at 14.5-15 to 5”7 now I mean I have faith I hit 5”9.5

Over

I’ll keep you updated bro it’s really impossible that it’s over, with my shoe size increasing and meat growing over an inch in a year and a half.
