Hi!
IF you were my patient, I would do a complete exam and physical. I would look for things such as breast development and pubic and underarm hair.
I would ask you some questions about your mom/dad grandparents and about how old they were when they went through puberty.
I would ask about your height and growth curve.
Chances are very good that you are just a "late bloomer", but I would consider doing a pelvic exam/ultrasound to check to be sure that all of the organs are present and normal.
Good luck!
