Shorter than average

Question

Asked for Male, 18 Years

I'm male, recently turned 18, and I'm 5 ft 3 in, my mom is 5 ft 1 in, and my dad is 5 ft 7 in. I'm wondering if I could grow taller after 18, like 2 more inches naturally. Or if it would be better to use growth hormone, and how expensive that would be.
