My husband and I are going to start trying to get pregnant soon. Is there anything I can do to increase my fertility? I am 27 years old and a light smoker (I am decreasing my smoking and hope to stop before we start trying) 5′5 and 155 pounds. I exercise 2-3 times per week, and eat a pretty balanced diet.

Jean Morgan asked:
During the years that a woman is able to bear children, the hormone progesterone is produced from within her ovaries. In her post-menopausal years, her body continues the production of progesterone in the adrenal glands and fat cells.
“Natural progesterone” is a hormone produced from plants that is biologically identical to the progesterone created in a woman’s ovaries. It is made from soybeans and yams, and is readily accepted by the body.
Natural progesterone works within the body exactly as progesterone manufactured in the body would, causing few if any side effects. For many years, natural progesterone has been used by women consistently and successfully in hormone replacement.
Synthetic progesterone, or progestin, is a man-made hormone that is made using chemical compounds. Also used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), it can produce various and undesirable side effects including headache, breast tenderness and PMS.
The use of natural progesterone provides women with a means of boosting unacceptably low levels of progesterone in their bodies. Low progesterone levels may allow the hormone estrogen to reach a “dominate” level causing problems such as breast tenderness, water retention, irregular menstrual periods, as well as other, more serious, health issues.
When natural progesterone has been used in treatment, it doesn’t interfere with the performance of estrogen hormones, but works in a balance as it would under natural conditions. One of the concerns of synthetic progesterone use is that it may diminish estrogen benefits.
Some of the benefits of natural progesterone include:
helps prevent fibroids in the uterus
improves sleeping
restores sexual desire
works as an antidepressant
relieves water retention
helps stabilize blood sugar
helps eliminate postpartum depression
helps fight obesity
facilitates thyroid activity
stimulates bone building
helps to restore clear thinking
The use of natural progesterone can help to re-establish hormonal balances in a woman’s body and relieve worsening premenstrual symptoms as a woman approaches menopause. It can be used safely in hormone replacement to restore a woman’s hormonal health to natural, optimal levels both comfortably and successfully.

Helen Dascalescu asked:
If you’ve tried every cream, lotion or diet plan for your eczema and are still struggling, then you may be battling with a hormone imbalance.
How Do I Know My Eczema Is Linked To Hormones?
Well, have a look through the check list:
Are you:
1) A woman who has not gone through menopause.
2) Struggling more with your skin at certain times of the month – particularly the week before your period?
3) Do you have other Pre Menstrual symptoms such as sweet cravings, water retention, anxiety or depression?
There are two major hormones involved in the Menstrual cycle. Progesterone and Oestrogen. During the first half of the menstrual cycle oestrogen stimulates the working of the central nervous system. As it declines during the second half, it can cause irritability and depression, chemical instability and a multitude of other PMS symptoms. Usually progesterone levels increase enormously as the oestrogen decreases. Progesterone has exactly the opposite effect – promoting a well being feeling, and a good chemical balance within the body. As the levels of progesterone naturally decline the menses begin.
What If Oestrogen Levels Are Too High?
If oestrogen levels are too high - or progesterone levels too low, then the following symptoms may occur : water retention and bloatedness, breast swelling, PMS mood swings and depression, Loss of libido, Heavy or irregular menses Uterine fibroids, Cravings for sweets, Weight gain, aggravated skin problems.
What Do High Levels Of Progesterone Do?
Good levels of Progesterone act as a natural anti-depressant, restoring libido, normalizing blood sugar, facilitating thyroid hormone, serving as a natural diuretic, restoring proper cell oxygen levels, helping use fat as fuel and normalizing zinc and copper levels. Good zinc and copper levels are also essential for healthy skin.
How Do Hormones Really Affect My Eczema?
Imbalances in these two hormones can severely aggravate any skin disorder you may be prone too.
How Can I Balance Hormones To Help My Eczema?
By looking at what you eat. Changing your diet can have a substantial effect on your hormone levels, PMS symptoms and Eczema.
The following Hormones And Eczema - Diet Tips will help control the oestrogen/progesterone balance to help with PMS symptoms and Eczema.
1) Increase fibre rich foods, such as whole grains, legumes, root and leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts and seeds.
2) Reduce meat consumption to 2-3 portion per week. Vegetarians have far less problems with PMS and related skin disorders.
3) Take probiotics - Lactobacillus acidophilus helps metabolise oestrogen in the bowel.
4) Eat organically produced foods - pesticides can adversely affect hormone balances, as can meat from animals that may have been treated with hormones.
5) Soy is a good source of phytoestogens – plant derived that reduce the need for the body to make its own oestrogen.
6) Increase intake of omega 6 fatty acids (from seeds such as sunflower and sesame, and soy) and omega 3 (from cold water fish and pumpkin seeds).
What About Essential Fatty Acids and Eczema?
It’s important to understand how important it is to have the right balance for our chemical messengers too. These are known as Prostaglandins (modified forms of unsaturated fatty acids).
If there is a disturbance in prostaglandins it can affect the function of these two hormones, and have a huge impact on our skin. The truth is a huge percentage of people labelled Atopic are struggling with a deficiency in DGLA (an unsaturated omega-6 acid). The same deficiency that can cause tremendous problems with the oestrogen and progesterone balance because the messages in the body are all out of time with each other – or simply not functioning correctly.
Help Your Eczema By Improving Chemical Messengers.
Increasing your intake of essential fatty acids such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 will improve the chances of your body making sufficient DGLA to help create healthy balanced messengers. Increasing cold water fish in the diet or taking supplements can help do this.
Studies have shown that supplementing the diet with omega-3 and omega-6 can reduce dry skin and itchiness by up to 43%.
In short – the best thing you can do for your skin if hormones are irritating your Eczema is look at your diet and follow the 6 Hormones And Eczema - Diet Tips above.

Cindy Heller asked:
Infertility can be defined as “a couple having virginal sexual intercourse without birth control for a period of 12 months and are unable to conceive”. Statistics show that in most cases of infertility for a couple about 40% are caused by the female, 40% are male originated issues. The rest of the time the cases are unexplained. So what causes this infertility in apparently healthy people?
Party too much and you might just get impotent
Studies have shown that excessive drinking or smoking or taking drugs will affect the sperm. One of the most damaging things to the male ego is to find out that because of the excess in lifestyle, you have become impotent. So do your drinking in moderation and stop smoking, it will lead to general health and most importantly to better sperm.
For women the equation is less simple, in fact it is a whole lot more complex. The reproductive system is directly involved; other organs that control hormonal or gland secretions are also essential for pregnancy to occur. Then there are hormonal imbalances as well. Some of the more common cases are hormonal imbalances and thin lining of the uterus. Structural issues like blockages in the fallopian tubes or a weak uterus are also direct causes of infertility in women. Other causes can be blood pressure, stress, anxiety or even a weak immune system.
The doctor can help
It is so essential that you find a good doctor to help you that it forms the corner stone for your treatment. Take note that best does not mean most exclusive or most publicized doctor. The best doctor is one who will be aware of your needs and more importantly is able to get results.
The best place to start your hunt is at your regular doctor. Your doctor will be able to point you to a specialist based on your needs and wants. Take into consideration factors like where is the clinic sited the costs and even the waiting time in the clinic. Another tip is to see if the doctor comes recommended by other couples. A good doctor tends to have great feedback and that is the best sort of guarantee you will need.
While many obstetricians will advertise that they perform infertility workups and treatments, these doctors may not be the best ones to head to if you suspect that there might be a problem. There are doctors that specialize in infertility treatments, and by selecting one of them, you may already be increasing your chances of success.
So do a lot of research and take into consideration the factors of costs, travel time, and treatment time. When you have decided pay note to the after care service of the clinic, as this will affect you if you do decide to have treatment in the clinic.
Before you start your infertility treatments
Before you embark on any infertility treatment, plan it all together. It is essential at the onset that both know what the commitments will be like. You have to be honest and open about your feelings, there will be embarrassing questions asked and there might be tests that you will be uncomfortable doing. So before anything starts sit down to talk with your partner. When you both decide upon a doctor, usually a series of tests will be done to diagnose the cause of the infertility. Once that is discovered your doctor will advice you and the series of steps to undertake. Usually if it is a structural problem, only clinical methods will prove effective. But if it is a functional issue then at times oral medication is highly effective. Above all during the treatment the couple as a whole must give the support and understanding to one another.
Sometimes infertility treatment involves something as simple as a medication, or something as definitive as a surgical procedure to correct an anatomical or physiological problem. In other cases, the treatment may be more invasive, but may boast a higher success rate. You should have an idea in mind as to how far you are willing to go with your infertility treatment, so that you and your doctor can determine the best course of action for you. The good news is that every day there are more options available in infertility treatments and many have higher success rates than ever before. Talk to your doctor about the best infertility treatment plan for you.

Does taking an SSRI help cure anovulation? Is there a link between serotonin and infertility? I have a hypothesis that there is a link, but I can’t find any empirical evidence.

Cindy Heller asked:
Female and male infertility is fairly common nowadays. If you feel that there is a problem with you and your partner in having a child, you need to understand the causes of female and male infertility.
The Causes of Female and Male Infertility
Infertility in the male is caused by a few different factors. It is essential to have healthy sperm production for conception to happen. This sperm needs to be strong enough to reach the egg. It will need good motility. If the sperm count is below optimum or the sperms are of poor quality, pregnancy will rarely occur. The problem could also be that the sperm is not formed properly or they die prematurely before they can reach the egg.
Women need to have both healthy eggs and blockage free fallopian tubes to allow for conception. Female infertility is often caused by ovulation disorder. Correct cycles of ovulation are necessary for the healthy eggs to descend into place for the sperm to reach it. Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the more common problems in female infertility. Female and male infertility problems can also be due to birth defects or genetics that causes damage to the reproductive systems.
Female and male infertility is treated in different ways and by different types of medical doctors. A gynecologist often is the first consultation for female infertility and men need to see an urologist. Once the cause of the female and male infertility is determined, the proper treatment can then begin.
Some Facts about Male Infertility
Many people would think of infertility as a woman problem. The fact is that up to half of all infertility cases are exacerbated or caused by male infertility. Hence, it is important for any infertility test to include an investigation of both male infertility as well as the female problems.
Causal Factors of Male Infertility
