The Role of Hormones and Infertility
The importance of hormones in fertility cannot be overlooked. Imbalances in hormones can hinder the ability to achieve pregnancy. While some may consider IVF as a solution, it is crucial to address and correct hormone imbalances before the body is prepared for conception and a successful pregnancy.
There are multiple hormones crucial for reproduction, such as Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, and more.
Ovarian follicle development is fostered by FSH hormones, and LH hormones play a pivotal role in triggering ovulation, resulting in the release of a mature egg from the ovary. The menstrual cycle is further regulated by hormones such as estradiol and progesterone.
Fertility is influenced by various hormones, including thyroid hormones, pituitary gland-produced prolactin, stress hormones, and testosterone. Additionally, hormonal dysfunction can arise from insulin resistance and imbalances in glucose levels.
Having imbalances in any of these hormones can significantly disrupt the reproductive system and hinder ovarian function, leading to difficulties in achieving pregnancy.
At Road to Fertility, we prioritize identifying and addressing the root cause of your hormonal imbalance. Our aim is to create a personalized fertility treatment plan tailored to your body’s unique requirements.
