Anyone else experience a lull in height growth at 16?

Wondering if some sort of abrupt hormonal issue could've caused my growth plates to close prematurely, idfk, my hormone test results were good, but it's going on 10 months since those tests and my IGF-1 was on the low side of the range. I'm 5'8, my dad's 6'3, my mom's 5'2.

I've read that very high estrogen could close your plates, but my estradiol was average, slightly low, maybe something caused a big spike in estrogen, though and caused my growth plates to close? Clearly I don't know much about how hormones can affect growth plates. It could be genetic, but I don't want to accept that just yet, considering my dad's height.

Kind of at same place except my dad is 189. Idk iff it matters but my uncle is 198/199 and both my grandpas 194. Idk if its correlated but I have big feet and huge wing span
 
Let's be fair, your mom is a femlet.
 
most boys are done growing by 16

I've mostly read done growing by around 21, but it seems to vary a lot from person to person, maybe I am done growing.

I've heard of some people having lulls in growth then suddenly getting big growth spurts again, idk how common that is though.
 
Imagine being 5'8 with a 6'3 dad. Complete genetic failure on every level.

My mom's dad is around my height, 5'8, idk my other grandpa's height though. Yeah I wonder how correlated extremity sizes are with future height growth, my wingspan and foot size were big relative to my height for awhile, but I've "grown into" them more.

Yeah I'm wondering if it's considered idiopathic short stature.

yea i’ve noticed in the past few months that my growth has slowed down a lot and i just turned 16 this is usually the age where most boys are pretty much done growing

That's what I'm saying though, it shouldn't be caused by genetics, wondering if hormonal imbalance had to do with it.

Well then you're finished growing since you entered puberty early
My puberty started around maybe 12 but was very slow until around like late 13, where do you think that would place me in growth?

Have you grown in the last year and how old are you ?
 
In terms of height growth? I've grown maybe like 0.60 inches? I'm 16
 
I was maybe like 5'7.5 around october? Not sure exactly. and mind you these are morning measurements );
 
I hit 6ft at 15 grew, 6'1" at 16 and have grown 2" since 16. Currently 21. Growth slows down tremendously after your initial growth spurt
 
GO ER ON YOUR DAD

your height would be fine had your mom been taller tbh

Maybe I'll at least hit 5'10, or 5'11, I really wanted to be an above 6'5, monsta, though.

Stop projecting your pessimism on me, let me cope and have hope that I'll reach 6'5, minimum!

Same thing here but it's covered by a fat pad and I have bad eq.

You most likely will, 16 isn't the end for most zoomers.

I have a fucking gnarly fat pad for my body fat percentage, it's about an inch and my body fat percentage is around 13, I almost wonder if it's loose/saggy skin, because when I lay down, it seems to lessen.

Supposed to have like .25 inches of fat pad at this body fat%
