The majority of estrogen is produced in the ovaries. If the ovaries are functioning properly, estrogen will probably not be low. If ovaries have been removed, the woman has hit menopause or there is autoimmune destruction of the ovary, estrogen will be low.
If adrenal insufficiency is secondary, LH and FSH could also be affected and in this case, estrogen will also be low.
