The number one cause of infertility is hormonal imbalance due to estrogen dominance over progesterone (hormone of pregnancy) and or testesterone. Many other causes of infertility stem from this root cause. The secondary causes include: anovulation (luteal phase deficiency), endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, adenomyosis and tubal adhesions (to some extent).
The issue of chemical messengers and the biochemistry of hormone regulation is poorly understood by many fertility dotors. This is why most reproductive endocrinologist, infertility remedy doctors and Chinese medicine practitioners ignore the complex role of hormones in a woman's physiology and fertility promotion.
The key to understanding fertility in women (and men to some extent) is to know the concept of hormone triangle. The hormone triangle is formed by an imaginary line joining the thyroid gland in front of the neck to the adrenals on either side of the flank. At the center of the hormone triangle is the liver (the body's chief of staff). Outside this triangle is other supportive or contributory organs like the brain, ovaries, uterus, pancreas and the kidneys. However, our focus here is the hormone triangle and its contents. The key to achieving conception is indirect and are outside the reproductive organs like the ovaries or the uterus. Notice that the ovaries are the listed last as if to say that you must balance the thyroid, the liver and the adrenals before the reproductive organs work perfectly.
Therefore, infertility and fertility consideration must involve primarily:
1. The thyroid gland--Peak of the hormone triangle.
2. The liver (central to fertility)--Center of the hormone triangle.
3. The two adrenal glands--base of the hormone triangle.
4. The ovaries--Important organs of ovulation outside the hormone triangle.
The first organ we must evaluate when it comes to infertility is the thyroid gland. It controls everything from reproductive organ metabolism to libido. If the thyroid is not balanced, it is hard to achieve pregnancy or carry pregnancy to term. Unhealthy thyroid is responsible for series of miscarriages. (three or more miscarriages are classified as infertility). The thyroid regulates estrogen metabolism and a woman's mood. Twenty five percent of estrogen are degraded in the thyroid gland; 75% is eliminated by the liver.
The liver is central to fertility control. The liver is the president of the body and even controls human emotions. According to Chinese medicine, the liver controls ovulation. If you don't make the eggs, you cannot make the baby. The liver is also responsible to eliminating excess or bad estrogen from the system. If the liver is sluggish, pregnancy may be hampered. Remember that the liver is part of the gastrointestinal tract. So, the intestines are important in hormonal balance and fertility promotion. Therefore, healthy gastrointestinal tract and perfect liver is necessary to getting pregnant. My observation is that 95% of infertile woman tend to be constipated and don't make the attempt to cleanse their colon.
The adrenals or the suprarenal glands work closely with the thyroid gland. When the thyroid is sluggish or overworked, the two adrenal glands take over the slack. This is the organ responsible in combating stress and distress which is important in fertility and conception. The adrenals react to all forms of stress the same way by releasing stress hormones and cortisol which stimulates the bad estrogens (estradiol and estrone)that causes inflammation and infertility. Chronic low grade inflammation hurt the body and contribute to infertility by distupting a woman's biochemistry. The adrenals burn vital nutrients during stress. These nutrients are need to package and release the eggs from the ovaries.
Did you notice that the ovaries are outside the hormone triangle? The reason is that nature tends to balance the rest of the body before conception arrives. This means that the thyroid, the liver and the adrenals must be balanced before the ovaries. The body works in synergy. The interplay and interdependence of these other organs take care of the ovary and its hormones indirectly. Then the ovaries make the eggs that make the baby.
Thus the order or process of getting pregnant involves understanding first the hormone triangle. The thyroid works with the two adrenals and the liver. The ovary is last in fertility promotion. This is why it is difficult to conceive if the doctor did not consider the synergy, interplay and interdependence of the thyroid, the liver and the adrenals before the ovaries and ovulation leading to pregnancy.
