Thank you for the wonderful explanation Dr. Murray! I think I have pinpointed my source of confusion. I was reading that high levels of estrogens stimulate the release of LH, but I missed the point that that is specifically during the breeding cycle, and the estrogens are coming from the ovaries. The sex hormones coming from the adrenal cortex provide a negative feedback on the pituitary gland and actually slow down GnRH release. It's amazing to me how the body has such an intricate system of positive and negative feedback.

Thanks again,
Amanda
