Low Estrogen & Testosterone

hi all šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

new to this group, but am on the thyroid group.

Iā€™ve just received my Dutch test results and have low estrogen and testosterone and wondered if anyone could help me interpret the results or point on possible direction as to why this could be (other than perimenopause)

I take 12.5mg DHEA slow release, estrogen gel 1 pump 25mg and 200mg progesterone on day 15-26 of my cycle.

Iā€™m gaining weight easily and struggle to lose weight (thyroid levels are in range but perhaps not optimal). I get burning mouth syndrome, headaches, tinnitus, exhaustion, anxiety.

My cortisone levels are quite high too, whatā€™s the difference between cortisone and cortisol?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated ā¤ļø
