    How Hormones Affect your Fertility

     

    Hormones play a vital role in controlling fertility in both men and women. These natural chemicals act as messengers that help the body regulate ovulation, sperm production, and the overall reproductive process.

     

    In women, the brain releases two important hormones — follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) — which help the ovaries produce and release an egg during ovulation. After the egg is released, another hormone called progesterone prepares the womb for pregnancy, while estrogen keeps the uterine lining healthy. If these hormones are not balanced, ovulation may not happen regularly, or the womb may not be ready to support a fertilized egg. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or stress can easily upset this balance and cause fertility problems.

    In men, hormones such as testosterone, FSH, and LH control sperm production. When testosterone levels are low or these hormones are out of balance, sperm count and quality may decrease, leading to difficulty in conception. Factors like obesity, stress, or certain medications can also interfere with normal hormone levels.

     

    Keeping hormones balanced is very important for anyone trying to conceive. Eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and managing stress can help maintain normal hormone levels. In some cases, doctors may recommend hormonal therapy or fertility medications. Overall, balanced hormones mean a stronger reproductive system and a better chance of achieving pregnancy.
