If you google - estrogen levels low, you will find that symptoms of low
estrogen are the same as all menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms i.e.
night sweats, hot flashes, hair loss, incontinence, changes in
cholesterol, depression and on and on. It seems to me that you are far
too young to be menopausal.
It is my understanding that estradial (sp) levels are not always
meaningful, meaning it is difficult to get an accurate reading due to
hormone flucations in your cycle.
Please give your Dr a call.
