he wont run labs that arent necessary. He likely wont even run ur test unless u complain of low t symptoms.

you're young don't worry about that stuff your test is probably high unless you're nuking it with unhealthy shit
if you say you're curious about test levels it'll probably be on there.

Yes but most likely if you ask for test and estrogen other stuff like dht levels or igf1 will come too

Igf-1 tests are very expensive. try to get it covered by insurance but unless ur short doc wont test for it.
at the end of the day he only added test, I asked about estrogen and he looked at me like I was crazy but atleast ill know my test levels
 
if you're worried then get your bloods done.
- gh, igf-1
- thyroid
- testosterone, estradiol
- liver function
- fasting insulin, glucose

all these physiological markers have a wide systemic effect on body.

as for your final height, look at your male ancestor's height for the past 2 generations on both sides of your family.

if everything goes well, you will be as tall or maybe taller than them due to better nutrition, better lifestyles, better prenatal care in newer generations.
if money is limited, test+thyroid+gh in that order of importance

he only did test and I think hes catching on that im worried about stuff thats unusual, i asked him to give me my xrays for growth plates and he said no and then I asked about test and estrogen and he was like why would you care about estrogen its normally low in males so i dont think he'll let me do the other things, thx for the recommendations tho

estrogen is not as important as thyroid which has more widespread systemic effects including (but not limited to) osteoblastic proliferation of bones and interstitial growth.

just tell him your mom and dad has hashimotos and you're concerned you might have it too. say you feel cold all the time or you have insomnia. he will do it then.

my mom is there with me so she'll just disprove me unless I convince but I could say the cold or insomniac thing thanks for the advice
