Cholesterol is actually the base hormone from which all other hormones are produced. Pregenolone is produced directly from cholesterol and goes on to produce the steroid hormones. Perhaps try upping your intake of healthy fats (fish, nuts, high fiber foods) and make sure to get a reasonable amount of aerobic exercise daily to boost your HDL cholesterol levels (if you are not already doing so). It may not help at all, but it seems a whole lot safer than going straight to a synthetic hormone therapy (which can be pretty risky). Or it could be something to try out just until you are able to get in with an endocrinologist, which I agree is a very good idea if you suspect a hormone imbalance.
