Is estrogen usually measured on routine blood test? If so, what is the "code" to look for?

I am 34 years old and experience red-face hot flashes, fast weight gain and hard to digest periods. I own small fibroids that I am getting treated but I am wondering about hormones and the possibility of an lack of correspondence there.

ALSO - I have a routine blood panel 6 months ago and am wondering if hormones beside those associated with the thyroid are usually measured on these things. Does anyone know the "code" I can look for if it is?

THANKS!
