Blood oestrogen levels?

    I started off self medicating with spiro and estradiol, starting with a low dose, as is recommended, and worked up to 4 mg a day.  I was getting reasonable breast development - UK 'A' cup.  When the hospital took over my meds they changed the spiro to decapeptyl and breast development stopped.  They subsequently raised my estradiol to 6 mg and have just reduced it to 5.

     

    The hospital works on blood oestrogen level, and aims to have it in the "normal range".  I'm assuming they mean "normal" for an adult woman.  Shouldn't we be aiming at "normal" for an adolescent girl, as that is effectively what we are?  Any idea how I would find out what that is?
