Could I still grow taller?

Edit Post

So, I'm 18, and I'm pretty sure that I am almost done with puberty. Problem is, I've never had a teenage growth spurt before. I am 5'6.5, and my mother is 5'6, and my dad is 6'0. According to my growth curve, I was estimated to be between 6'0-6'3. Here were my heights from 10 onwards:
10-5'0
11-5'3
12-5'5
13-5'6
14-5'6
15-5'6
16-5'6
17-5'6
18-5'6.5

So, will I still hit my growth spurt? Everything else has been normal; I have facial hair, a lot of muscle mass, etc. but my growth has lagged waaaaaay behind. Will I still hit my growth spurt?

Yeah, I'm hoping to end up like Dennis Rodman, whom went from 5'7-6'9 between senior year of high school to junior year of college. I mean , maybe not that much lol, but 2-4 inches before doing ll would be amazing!

It seems with such efficiency it should be easy and safe with a lesser ammount of HGH to gain some inches at least, which would make it quite simply to avoid having our children ending up short.

Unless of course this guy was insanely lucky and very few individuals gain any height from taking it, or at most very little height.

Well, I am getting a growth hormone prescription from my endocrinologist.

No, I've never used steroids. I only suggested using them to aid in PT during ll. No, I probably suffered from precocious puberty.

I didn't even have one at 12. I never had one. I grew consistently to 5'6-5'7 and just randomly stopped.

Yep, it sucked. I'm hoping I could hit 6'1 someday.

Oh, I meant with leg lengthening.

Yeah, it turns out mine are closed.

The vertebrae should open for a good amount of time after puberty is "finished," along with many other parts. Although, some cases can be delayed growth patterns in which the body will sometime grow uncontrollably for a short time to make up for what's lost, but it's a rare feat.

I started puberty when I was ten, and it sucked seeing all my friends get taller later on only to stop acknowledging me.

I started when I was eight. It was some real bull .

So that rose my confusion in the precocious pattern...

Same thing with a dude in our highschool. He's about 6'6 or so, and he started puberty with me when he was only about 2-4 inches taller than me.
