If you had testicular trauma that resulted in less production of Testosterone (and other downstream hormones as well) than it's unlikely you will achieve full growth without supplementing with Testosterone. Not "fitting" with other genetic males is a clear sign of deficiency and we've seen it here numerous times where testicular trauma resulted in men needing TRT to replace what the Testes can't produce. Remember there are other downstream hormones like DHT for example that are dependent on optimal levels of Testosterone in all 3 androgen pathways.
I'm waiting on blood results so the above is hypothetical. I didn't hit puberty 'til late 15/early 16, and am 23. I don't 'fit' with my dad or brothers, or most other male relatives for that matters.
Post your BW and the guys will jump in; you have an interesting case so please keep this post updated with the results of your blood work and the recommendation of your Physician.
