I'm 16 and I know there's still time for growth, but I've noticed a lot of girls my age have developed breasts and I haven't yet. My mom started developing hers when she was 15. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal to have a delay in breast development?

I've been on Thyronorm 25 mcg for the past two years, but I recently had a couple of lab tests. The first one was 20 days ago, and I hadn't taken my morning dose thenit showed a level of 4.8. Yesterday, I took the test after having my morning dose, and the level was 2.6. Do you think I should consider reducing my dosage?

Based on the lab results, it appears that your thyroid levels have improved after taking your morning dose. The lower value (2.6) suggests that the current dosage may be appropriate. However, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if a dosage adjustment is necessary, as they can assess your overall health and treatment response more accurately.

Chest appearance and posture may indicate gynecomastia or scoliosis—consult a plastic surgeon or orthopedic specialist for diagnosis and Army eligibility.
