A member asked:
I have pcos how do i know i have estrogen deficiency ? progesterone deficiency is there cause i have irregular periods ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: You don't have either deficiency; pcos is not a "deficiency" syndrome. Women with pcos tend to have normal estrogen levels but don't ovulate as often or regularly as normal women, when they do ovulate the Progesterone levels are normal.
