Female Infertility
Find out if you are affected
Unexplained Infertility
28% of cases of Infertility are unexplained!
In the absence of a physical cause,
many cases of female infertility may be due to something as simple as hormonal imbalance,
which can be detected by hormone testing.
Hormonal Change in Menstrual Cycle
The secretion of hormones differs in different stages of the menstrual cycle, which would affect the chance of ovulation and fertilization. It also affects the length and volume of a cycle. Therefore, by testing the secretion pattern of hormones, the reason for infertility and irregular cycle could be found.
Hormonal Causes of Infertility
Low Progesterone/ Luteal Phase Defect
belly fat, increased appetite, sugar cravings, impaired thyroid and metabolism
Thyroid Disorders
Low level of thyroid hormone may stop ovulation, leads to absent or irregular cycles. Autoimmune thyroid issues can increase the risk of miscarriage.
PCOS
It affects 6-15% of women. Once PCOS is recognized, many women are able to become pregnant and lose weight more effectively
Low Egg Reserve
It could be caused by premature ovarian failure.
Stress
High cortisol level that brought by stress can inhibit ovulation, while low cortisol hinder the immune changes necessary for implantation. Stress could also lead to endometriosis, which is found in more than 50% of women with unexplained infertility.
