Low Estrogen and Low Progesterone Together

Wondering if anybody has this type of problem....test results came back with low progesterone and low estradiol.

Progesterone was lower... off the chart low. So the doctor prescribed me creams of progesterone and estrogen (not together).

My symptoms matched those of excess estrogen even though my levels were low because of the lower progesterone getting the ratio off.

Just wondering if I indeed need the estrogen cream also. Seems like when I take it I get chest pain and more anxiety. I know there is a ratio to balance between the 2 hormones and my progesterone was much lower.

If I continue with just the progesterone will the estrogen level correct itself?

Thanks everyone!
