Yes, it is completely possible for a girl to have a growth spurt after her first period. The idea that menarche (first period) marks some stop in development is false, menarche is one of many changes that occur during puberty. Puberty continues until adulthood, menarche on average starts at 13 years old whereas puberty tends to end around the age of 18 years old, so a girl may see a growth spurt later in their teens long after they've started to menstruate.

When you have to start shaving and your budding are you close to your period?

Firstly, no one has to start shaving - shaving is a personal choice and not a requirement. Everyone develops differently, some girls will start developing breasts before menarche and some not until after menarche, so all breast growth and body hair shows is that you've entered puberty.

How do you know when you got your growth spurt?

Boys and girls can have more than one growth spurt, but it's generally obvious when you have had one. Usually, by the time you've reached or exceeded the same height as your tallest parent, you can safely assume you are done with your growth spurts. Growth in height officially comes to a halt when the growth plates on the long bones close. Most frequently this is completed by the late teens/early twenties and is followed by a period of "filling out" where the body takes on more mature adult dimensions.


How do you start your period if you are 14?

Your period will start naturally when it is due to start, there's nothing that you can do to make your period start before it is due. The average age of menarche is 13 so at 14 you're not far off reaching menarche.
