Hormonal balance is necessary to get pregnant, carry to term and have a healthy baby.

What exactly are hormones?

Hormones are cell messengers coordinated by the endocrine system. Without proper endocrine function, our bodies cannot maintain proper hormonal balance.

Our cells are genetically programmed to only receive and respond to messages from certain hormones. Each cell in the body contains hormone receptor sites.

Once a hormone fits into a cell’s receptor, it gives the cell instructions. This is similar to a key fitting in a lock. Hormones control our bodily processes.

 Hormone Balance or levels can be influenced by the following:

1. Stress
2. Fluid changes in the body, 3. Vitamin and mineral levels
4. Infection
5. Exposure to environmental toxins.
6. Amount of body fat we have

Each endocrine gland plays a specific role in the ability of our body to maintain proper function. Each endocrine gland also communicates with the other in an amazing design. If one of the endocrine glands is not functioning properly, it may cause a broken link in communication with other endocrine glands or actions of the body, which may greatly impair fertility.

Because the endocrine glands secrete hormones, and the hormones are messengers for actions within the body, if the gland is not functioning properly, hormonal imbalance occurs and the ability to reproduce may be impaired.

HORMONES IMPORTANT FOR REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION

There are key hormones that directly affect fertility health in both men and women.

IMPORTANT HORMONES IN WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE:

For more information call Felix Joshua +2347038574473, 08074256315
1. ESTROGEN or Estradiol

is produced primarily by the follicles and corpus luteum (remnant egg sac) in the ovaries. This estrogen is the most potent and abundant. Estrogen is essential for healthy bone formation, healthy gene expression, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, and formation of secondary sexual characteristics (pubic hair, breasts, etc). Estradiol is vital for a healthy menstrual cycle.

2. PROGESTERONE

Progesterone is needed for a healthy libido, bone formation, and proper blood clotting. Progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum in the ovaries and by the adrenal glands.

 Progesterone is one of the main hormones in helping to regulate the menstrual cycle. It works to balance the effects of estrogen. Progesterone also signals the release of insulin, playing a role in a person’s susceptibility for diabetes or insulin resistant PCOS.

 Adequate levels of progesterone are vital for proper fallopian tube function. Almost all of your other hormones are made from progesterone.

Progesterone is vital for conception and maintaining pregnancy. One of the main actions of progesterone is to help support a developing embryo. During pregnancy, the placenta produces progesterone to help sustain the developing baby

3. LUTEINIZING HORMONE (LH)

This hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland. LH surge is responsible for triggering ovulation and development of the corpus luteum. LH works synergistically with FSH. It stimulates specific cells to produce testosterone.

4. FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH)

This hormone is also released and synthesized by the anterior pituitary gland. It regulates the body’s development, growth, and maturation. It also regulates reproductive processes. FSH works alongside with LH.

FSH signals some of the follicles in the ovary to begin maturing in preparation for ovulation.

5. CORTISOL

Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands, but it is controlled by the hypothalamus. Its primary function is to increase blood sugar, aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism and suppress the immune system. Cortisol is released in response to stress.

6. ANDROGENS

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone): DHEA is a precursor to testosterone and estrogens. This means that those hormones are made from it. DHEA is necessary for protein building and repair. It is made by the adrenal glands. DHEA levels decline dramatically as we age.

7. TESTOSTERONE

Testosterone in women is in much lower amounts than in men. It helps to support a healthy sex drive and build bones.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS of HORMONAL IMBALANCE

Symptoms of hormonal imbalance can be a blessing. This is because they are the body’s signal that something needs to be changed

 *HIGH PROLACTIN LEVELS*
(hyperprolactinemia)

*Symptoms of Hyperprolactinemia*

*In females, hyperprolactinemia or prolactinoma can cause:*

⏩ Irregular menstrual periods (oligomenorrhea) or no menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
⏩ Milky discharge from the breasts (galactorrhea) when not pregnant or breastfeeding
⏩ Painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness
⏩ Acne
⏩ Excessive body and facial hair growth (hirsutism)

*LOW PROGESTERONE LEVELS*

Progesterone is especially important in your childbearing years. If you don’t have enough progesterone, you may have trouble getting or staying pregnant. Each month, after one of your ovaries, releases an egg, your progesterone levels should rise. Progesterone helps the uterus thicken in anticipation of receiving a fertilized egg. If it’s not thick enough, implantation doesn’t occur.

*Symptoms of low progesterone in women who aren’t pregnant include:*

⏩ Headaches or migraines
⏩ Mood changes, including anxiety or depression
⏩ Low sex drive
⏩ Hot flashes
⏩ Irregularity in your menstrual cycle
⏩ Abnormal uterine bleeding.
⏩ Irregular or absent periods may indicate poorly functioning ovaries and low progesterone.

Without progesterone to complement it, estrogen may become the dominant hormone. This may lead to a variety of symptoms, including:

⏩ Weight gain
⏩ Decreased sex drive, mood swings, and depression
⏩ PMS, irregular menstrual cycle, heavy bleeding
⏩ Breast tenderness, fibrocystic breasts
⏩ Fibroids, endometriosis
⏩ Gallbladder problems
⏩ Thyroid dysfunction

For more information call Felix Joshua +2347038574473, 08074256315

*Symptoms of low progesterone in women who are pregnant may include:*

⏩ Spotting and abdominal pain.
⏩ Constant breast tenderness
⏩ Unrelenting fatigue
⏩ Frequent low blood sugar
⏩ Vaginal dryness
⏩ Toxemia or ectopic pregnancy.
⏩ Recurrent Miscarriage
⏩ Fetal death (stillbirths)

 *Recurrent Miscarriages caused by low progesterone report such as above could cause psychological trauma for a woman especially if she is TTC and in the childbearing age*

 *HIGH FSH LEVELS*

*Symptoms of High FSH*

In women presenting with high FSH levels manifestations include:

⏩ Ovarian hyperstimulation ⏩ Polycystic Ovaries or multiple ovarian cysts
⏩ Oligomenorrhea or Amenorrhea.
⏩ Galactorrhea may be present in the setting of high prolactin levels.

⏩ Primary or secondary infertility.

In women with ovarian failure, other symptoms may include:

⏩ Hot flashes sleep disturbance, mood swings, depression
⏩ Vaginal dryness and dyspareunia
⏩ Urinary incontinence
⏩ Urinary tract infections.

 *HIGH  ESTROGEN LEVELS*

Estrogen may become the dominant hormone without progesterone to complement it. This may lead to a variety of symptoms.

*Symptoms of high estrogen (estrogen dominance)*

⏩ Weight gain
⏩ Decreased sex drive, mood swings, and depression
⏩ PMS, irregular menstrual cycle, heavy bleeding
⏩ Breast tenderness, fibrocystic breasts
⏩ Fibroids, Endometriosis
⏩ Gallbladder problems
⏩ Thyroid dysfunction

> Foods high in fats has been shown to cause obesity, resistance to insulin, ovulatory disorder,
estrogen dominance (Hormonal imbalance) which leads to Uterine Fibroids & infertility.
: High FSH ruins your eggs, make them low quality and diminishes your egg reserve known as “DOR”- Diminished ovarian reserve.

LET ME JUST ADD THIS SO WE CAN KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT FERTILITY CASES AND QUESTIONS TO ASK, TEST. RESULTS TO CHECK.

* FACTORS AFFECTING FEMALE INFERTILITY*

There are several factors that may impact on a woman’s fertility. Some of these factors include:

1. Thyroid
2. Hormones

▶Be sure you are getting enough essential fatty acids each day in your diet. If you cannot get these through the foods you are eating, you may want to consider taking a complete omega supplement which contains omega 3, 6 and 9.(Omega plus)

 A fact that is not well known is *light pollution can affect egg viability* When you sleep your body produces melatonin – a hormone that regulates sleeping and waking cycles. Did you know that melatonin is also responsible for protecting eggs when they are close to ovulation, guarding against free-radicals and other degenerative entities? If you are someone who sleeps with lights on, who checks their cell phone every time it buzzes, or has the TV on non-stop, your body’s melatonin cycles get all screwed up. This, in turn, can prevent your egg from getting the protection they need, resulting in damaged eggs that are then rejected by the body or can wind up being the cause of a miscarriage.

While sperm count is clearly vital, numbers are not everything. Sperm must be able

SELF HELP TIPS FOR EASY   CONCEPTION

Inadequate sperm production and quality are one of the most common reasons for male infertility as it decreases the odds of one of the sperms fertilizing the egg for conception.
According to the World Health Organization, the normal concentration of sperm is at least 20 million per ml of semen. Fewer than 15 million sperm per ml is considered a low sperm count, also called oligozoospermia. Conception problems are associated with fewer than 40 million moving sperm in the ejaculate.

GETTING TESTED
If you have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year, make sure that both of you go and get infertility testing.
The results of a good test would be a sperm count of 20 million or more sperm with healthy motility and morphology. Suboptimal levels are less than 20 million sperm. If you find that your sperm levels are low or are having issues with mobility, motility or morphology. You need solutions we will proffer.

CAUSES OF LOW SPERM COUNT

Infection.
Some infections can interfere with sperm production or sperm health or can cause scarring that blocks the passage of sperm. These include inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis) or testicles (orchitis) and some sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea or HIV. Although some infections can result in permanent testicular damage, most often sperm can still be retrieved.

The good news is that many of these essentials for boosting sperm are contained in the famous “Swissgarde Sperm boosting pack”. Contact Swissgarde Distributor – Felix Joshua +2347038574473, 08074256315 for information on how to get yours.

Ejaculation problems.
Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen enters the bladder during orgasm instead of emerging out of the tip of the penis. Various health conditions can cause retrograde or lack of ejaculation, including diabetes, spinal injuries, and surgery of the bladder, prostate or urethra.
Certain medications also might result in ejaculatory problems, such as blood pressure medications known as alpha blockers. Some ejaculatory problems can be reversed, while others are permanent. In most cases of permanent ejaculation problems, sperm can still be retrieved directly from the testicles.
•  Antibodies that attack sperm: Anti-sperm antibodies are immune system cells that mistakenly identify sperm as harmful invaders and attempt to destroy them.
•  Tumors: Cancers and nonmalignant tumors can affect the male reproductive organs directly, through the glands that release hormones related to reproduction, such as the pituitary gland, or through unknown causes. Surgery, radiation or chemotherapy to treat tumors can also affect male fertility.
•  Undescended testicles: During fetal development, one or both testicles sometimes fail to descend from the abdomen into the sac that normally contains the testicles (scrotum). Decreased fertility is more likely in men with this condition.
•  Hormone imbalances: The hypothalamus, pituitary, and testicles produce hormones that are necessary to create sperm. Alterations in these hormones, as well as from other systems such as the thyroid and adrenal gland, may impair sperm production.
•  Defects of tubules that transport sperm: Many different tubes carry sperm. They can be blocked due to various causes, including inadvertent injury from surgery, prior infections, trauma or abnormal development, such as with cystic fibrosis or similar inherited conditions.
Blockage can occur at any level, including within the testicle, in the tubes that drain the testicle, in the epididymis, in the vas deferens, near the ejaculatory ducts or in the urethra.
•  Chromosome defects: Inherited disorders such as Klinefelter’s syndrome — in which a male is born with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome instead of one X and one Y — cause abnormal development of the male reproductive organs. Other genetic syndromes associated with infertility include cystic fibrosis, Kallmann’s syndrome and Kartagener’s syndrome.
•  Celiac disease: A digestive disorder caused by sensitivity to gluten, celiac disease can cause male infertility. Fertility may improve after adopting a gluten-free diet.

•  Certain medications: Testosterone replacement therapy, long-term anabolic steroid use, cancer medications (chemotherapy), certain antifungal and antibiotic medications, some ulcer medications and other medications can impair sperm production and decrease male fertility.
•  Prior surgeries: Certain surgeries might prevent you from having sperm in your ejaculate, including vasectomy, inguinal hernia repairs, scrotal or testicular surgeries, prostate surgeries, and large abdominal surgeries performed for testicular and rectal cancers, among others. In most cases, surgery can be performed to either reverse these blockages or to retrieve sperm directly from the epididymis and testicles.

ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES
Sperm production or function can be affected by overexposure to certain environmental elements, including:
•  Industrial chemicals: Extended exposure to benzenes, toluene, xylene, herbicides, pesticides, organic solvents, painting materials, and lead might contribute to low sperm counts.
•  Heavy metal exposure: Exposure to lead or other heavy metals also can cause infertility.
•  Radiation or X-rays: Exposure to radiation can reduce sperm production. It can take several years for sperm production to return to normal. With high doses of radiation, sperm production can be permanently reduced.
•  Overheating the testicles: Elevated temperatures impair sperm production and function. Although studies are limited and are inconclusive, frequent use of saunas or hot tubs might temporarily impair sperm count.
Sitting for long periods, wearing tight clothing or working on a laptop computer for long stretches of time also might increase the temperature in your scrotum and slightly reduce sperm production.

The good news is that many of these essentials for boosting sperm are contained in the famous “Swissgarde Sperm boosting pack”. Contact Swissgarde Distributor – Felix Joshua +2347038574473, 08074256315 for information on how to get yours.

HEALTH, LIFESTYLE AND OTHER CAUSES
Other causes of low sperm count include:
•  Drug use. Anabolic steroids taken to stimulate muscle strength and growth can cause the testicles to shrink and sperm production to decrease. Use of cocaine or marijuana might reduce the number and quality of your sperm as well.
•  Alcohol use. Drinking alcohol can lower testosterone levels and cause decreased sperm production.
•  Occupation. Certain occupations might be linked with a risk of infertility, including welding or those associated with prolonged sitting, such as truck driving. However, the data to support these associations is inconsistent.
•  Tobacco smoking. Men who smoke might have a lower sperm count than do those who don’t smoke.
•  Emotional stress. Severe or prolonged emotional stress, including stress about fertility, might interfere with hormones needed to produce sperm.
•  Weight. Obesity can impair fertility in several ways, including directly impacting sperm and by causing hormone changes that reduce male fertility.
•  Sperm testing issues. Lower than normal sperm counts can result from testing a sperm sample that was taken too soon after your last ejaculation; was taken too soon after an illness or stressful event, or didn’t contain all of the semen you ejaculated because some were spilled during collection. For this reason, results are generally based on several samples taken over a period of time.

Risk factors
A number of risk factors are linked to low sperm count and other problems that can cause low sperm count. They include:
•  Smoking tobacco
•  Drinking alcohol
•  Using certain illicit drugs
•  Being overweight
•  Having certain past or present infections
•  Being exposed to toxins
•  Overheating the testicles
•  Having experienced trauma to the testicles
•  Being born with a fertility disorder or having a blood relative with a fertility disorder
•  Having certain medical conditions, including tumors and chronic illnesses
•  Undergoing cancer treatments, such as radiation
•  Taking certain medications
•  Having a prior vasectomy or major abdominal or pelvic surgery
•  Having a history of undescended testicles

DIET & NUTRIENTS FOR HEALTHY MALE FERTILITY

•  Diet has a big impact on sperm health and male fertility. What you are eating today is impacting the sperm that will be swimming 3 months from now.
•  Study findings show a range of 42 to 76 days from the time of sperm production to ejaculation in normal men.
•  The changes that you make today are impacting the sperm you will be using two to three months from now. This means that it will take about 2-3 months for diet, herbs, and supplements to have an effect on sperm health.
Here are the nutrients specifically needed for a male fertility diet, they should be added to the diet as well as supplemented:
•  Zinc
  In men, zinc is considered one of the most important trace minerals for fertility; increasing zinc levels in infertile men has been shown to boost sperm levels, improve the form, function, and quality of the sperm thus decreasing male infertility.
Food sources: Calf liver, oysters, beef, lamb, venison, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, yogurt, turkey, peas, and shrimp. Zinc can be damaged by cooking so it is important to eat some foods high in zinc in their raw forms.
•  Selenium
Selenium is necessary for the creation of sperm. In studies, men with low sperm counts have also been found to have low levels of selenium.
Food sources: Brazil nuts, liver, snapper, cod, halibut, tuna, salmon, sardines, shrimp, and turkey.
•  Vitamin E
Vitamin E has been shown in studies to improve sperm health and motility in men. Studies have also shown a diet deficient in Vitamin E to be a cause of infertility in rats. The meaning of the name for vitamin E ‘Tocopherol’ literally means to bear young. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant to help protect sperm and egg DNA integrity.
Food sources: Sunflower seeds, almonds, olives, spinach, papaya, and dark leafy greens.
•  Folic acid – New research suggests that folic acid can boost sperm health. Men with low levels of folate had increased risks for sperm that contained too little or too many chromosomes. If an egg is fertilized by an abnormal sperm it could result in a birth defect such as downs syndrome, or an increased chance of miscarriage.
Food sources: Liver, lentils, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, asparagus, spinach, black beans, navy beans, kidney beans, and collard greens.
•  Vitamin B12 – Also known as cobalamin, vitamin B12 is involved in cellular replication and studies indicate a deficiency can lead to reduced sperm count and motility. Supplementation is advised for any man whose sperm count is less than 20 million or has a motility rate of less than 50%. Studies indicate that supplementation with vitamin B12 at 1,000mcg per day may increase sperm count.
Food sources: Clams, oysters, muscles, liver, caviar (fish eggs), fish, crab, lobster, beef, lamb, cheese, and eggs.
•  Vitamin C – For men, vitamin C has been shown to improve sperm quality and protect sperm from DNA damage; helping to reduce the chance of miscarriage and chromosomal problems. Vitamin C also appears to keep sperm from clumping together, making them more motile.
Food sources: Abundant in plants and fruits including red peppers, broccoli, cranberries, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, and citrus fruit.
•  Necessary for every cell in the body for energy production, CoQ10 is an important antioxidant that helps to protect cells from free radical damage, thus protecting DNA: it is necessary for sperm motility in semen. Additionally, studies have shown that CoQ10 can increase sperm health.
Food sources: Found most abundantly in seafood and organ meats, though it is very difficult to obtain through the diet. CoQ10 Ubiquinol supplementation is the best way to obtain CoQ10 – keep in mind that amounts in the body decline with age.
