The Role of Hormones and Infertility
Hormones are key to successful conception and pregnancy, but imbalances can pose obstacles. While some may opt for IVF, it is crucial to correct hormone levels first to enhance the chances of conceiving and ensuring a healthy pregnancy.
Hormones like Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone are crucial for the reproductive process.
The hormone FSH encourages ovarian follicle growth, while LH prompts ovulation, leading to the release of a mature egg. Estradiol and progesterone are key in controlling the menstrual cycle.
Fertility depends on various hormones, including thyroid hormones, pituitary-produced prolactin, stress hormones, and testosterone. Insulin resistance and glucose level imbalances can also trigger hormonal issues.
An imbalance in these hormones can negatively affect the reproductive system, making it harder to achieve pregnancy.
Road to Fertility is dedicated to pinpointing and treating the root cause of your hormonal imbalance. Our experienced team develops a tailored fertility treatment plan just for you.
