The Role of Hormones and Infertility
The importance of hormones in fertility cannot be overstated. When hormones become imbalanced, conceiving becomes challenging. While IVF may seem like a quick fix, it is essential to address hormone imbalances first to prepare the body for a successful pregnancy.
The reproductive process involves several hormones, including the Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, and more.
The stimulation of ovarian follicles is facilitated by FSH hormones, whereas LH hormones induce ovulation, leading to the release of a mature egg from the ovary. The menstrual cycle is intricately regulated by estradiol and progesterone hormones.
Thyroid hormones, prolactin from the pituitary gland, stress hormones, and testosterone are additional factors affecting fertility. Hormonal dysfunction can be a consequence of insulin resistance and imbalances in glucose levels.
If the levels of these hormones are imbalanced, it can disrupt the reproductive system and hinder the ability to conceive.
Our aim at Road to Fertility is to identify and tackle the underlying cause of your hormonal imbalance. We then design a personalized fertility treatment plan tailored to your unique body requirements.
