 Hi Choci,
Based on your mid parental height growth prediction you are almost exactly where you would genetically be expected to end up in regards to your height.
At your age, your growth plates have closed. Due to this, using growth hormone is unlikely to cause any significant changes in your height.
I am not aware of any medication that can add height after the growth plates are closed.
Sorry I can't help you on this one.
Best wishes.
