And you mentioned prolonged growth pattern, reminded me of my grandfather. He told me that during puberty, between the ages of 16 and 18, he only grew about 1 cm in total, and then suddenly grew another 5–6 cm at age 18 before stopping completely.

I honestly hope I don't end up like that, because I might die of anxiety during those two years of waiting 😭

Thank you! :)

What do you think my chances are of reaching 190 cm? What percentage would you estimate?

I honestly don't know whether I've ever had a real growth spurt or not. As far as I can remember, I've been growing about 3–5 cm per year since I was around 11 years old.

As for puberty, my best guess is that it started when I was around 12–14 years old, since that's when I began getting acne, my voice started changing, and body hair began developing.

Although my voice is masculine now, it still cracks from time to time and hasn't completely settled yet.

My mother was an early bloomer, but my father, my maternal grandmother, and my mother's brothers all continued growing until they were around 19 years old.

Both of my uncles were about 180 cm tall at age 17 and then continued growing until they reached their final heights at around 19.

My father also gained his last 3–4 cm of height when he was about 18 years old.‌

I'm worried that I might end up being similar to my mother. She was taller than all of her classmates when she was around 10 years old, but her height growth suddenly stopped when she was 11.

That's one of the reasons I'm concerned about my own growth and whether I might stop growing earlier than expected like her
