Low DHEA-S hormone is extremely common in hypothyroidism. I have Hashimotos, and low DHEA. My husband is regular hypothyroid, and he has extremely low DHEA.
You should have an adrenal and thyroid panel done that covers EVERYTHING, not just for Cushings. You should also have your B vitamins, Iron, and Ferritin levels checked. BCP will just mask symptoms or make them worse.
