At Road to Fertility, we understand that anovulation can be a major barrier to conception if left untreated. Our expert holistic and functional care in Florida focuses on diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of anovulation to improve your fertility prospects.
What is Anovulation?
Anovulation is characterized by the ovaries not releasing an egg during the menstrual cycle, which hinders the ability to conceive. This absence of ovulation prevents the production of essential hormones that are necessary to prepare the uterus for pregnancy, leading to challenges in achieving pregnancy naturally.
If anovulation is affecting you, irregular or missed periods, termed anovulatory cycles, may become apparent. In some cases, you may also experience abnormal uterine bleeding, where the absence of ovulation leads to unpredictable or excessive menstrual bleeding.
Anovulation may occur due to hormonal imbalances, where the pituitary gland fails to provide the correct signals needed for ovulation. Unhealthy body mass index (BMI) levels, whether too high or too low, can alter hormone levels, contributing to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or low estrogen. Additional factors like high stress levels, excessive exercise, and medical conditions such as thyroid problems or congenital adrenal hyperplasia can disrupt your menstrual cycle, leading to irregular or heavy bleeding.
To restore fertility, it is important to address the underlying causes of anovulation, as regular ovulation is a key component of the reproductive cycle.
Symptoms of Anovulation Include:
- Irregular or absent menstrual periods
- Unexplained infertility
- Heavy or light menstrual bleeding
- Lack of premenstrual symptoms such as breast tenderness or bloating
- Persistent acne
- Changes in cervical mucus
Testing for Anovulation
- Comprehensive medical history and symptom review
- Physical examination
- Hormonal blood tests at a functional lab (including FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone levels)
