These three taken together even without an estrogen imbalance are more than enough to recommend that PCOS test you ordered! Good call!
Not so good call on the Camila IMO... Despite what you SAID it was and what the Big Pharma are going to try telling you: that's not progesterone, but a progestin. That's a SYNTHETIC progesterone-LIKE hormone. And it's dangerous. It looks like it's one of the least dangerous progestins from what data I've been able to get on it, but... try to get on USP PROGESTERONE instead. Maybe even talk to your doc about what PC they'd recommend and how much of it they think you should use.
Anemia of course I can't begin to stress how nasty that can be...
Good luck getting this stuff sorted out ok!
