Is a day 3 estradiol level of 52 pg/ml bad?

Hi, everybody. I've been experiencing hot flashes, hair loss, irregular periods, and dry eyes for several months. I had my hormone and thyroid levels tested twice, and, while everything technically came back normal, my estradiol (52 pg/ml) level concerns me. I've read that anything below the 50 pg/ml mark is not a good sign. Is this true? Does this number suggest that I'm in the early stages of premature ovarian failure, or are there other causes of low estradiol? I have an appointment with an endocrinologist in February, but I'm really scared, and could use some information now.

Thank you for your time.

I don't think you have anything to worry about when it comes to your estrogen levels. On day 3, the normal range is 25-75, so you're pretty much right in the middle.
