Manage episode 462316307 series 3640620
Whether you've been trying to conceive for a while or you're just starting the process, chances are, you've heard of the common female hormones such as FSH, estrogen, and progesterone. But hormone interactions are nuanced and complex. It's not as straightforward as "normal estrogen levels equal fertility." In fact, normal rarely means optimal. There are other hormones that make conception possible behind the scenes as well.
In this episode, we explore the complex interplay of several well-known hormones and a few not-so-well-known ones and their critical roles in conception. Here is what to expect:
• An overview of the major fertility hormones
• The importance of hormones acting in conjunction and what happens when they don't
• Hormones in supporting roles that are critical for fertility
• Common misconceptions about how hormones work
