High 17oh progesterone low estrogen
I have above normal 17oh progesterone. I did the synacthen stimulation test, but the results were normal,which means that I don't have CAH. Does anyone know what else could be causing this?
At the same time, my estrogen is extremely low, so I was wondering whether these imbalances were connected. For reference, I don't think that I have PCOS because at ovarian scans I was told that everything is normal and there were no cysts, but that my ovaries were multifollicular (i suppose follicles are different from cysts).
Please advise. Thank you

Not sure why you posted on the thyroid thread, other than just taking a chance.
Have you gotten tested for thyroid hormones. Meaning specifically Free T4 and Free T3 in addition to TSH? If so please post the results along with reference ranges.
Have you had ALL of your sex hormones tested including testosterone? Testosterone is very important for females as well as males. Testosterone also converts into estrogen. All three primacy sex hormones all interact with one another and having them in the proper balance at the proper time is very important and complex. Do you have any menstrual cycle irregularities?
Can you also tell us your diet and the level of exercise you do? Are you an "extreme" athlete of any sort?
Your pituitary gland that is located in the center of your brain is super important for regulating hormone levels. Have you had past severe head trauma? As this can affect the pituitary and cause hormonal irregularities.
Finally how long has this been a struggle for you? Is this something recent?
