Many people are not clear about the changing patterns of sex hormones and the relationship between them. Seeing a set of data from hormone examinations is like looking at flowers in a fog and they are confused. In fact, the ups and downs of these hormones are only for the simplest and clearest purpose – to raise a new life. Understanding this truth, we have grasped a very clear main line.
After ovulation, the released egg has the possibility of fertilization. The development of this fertilized egg requires the support of progesterone, so a large amount of progesterone appears in a woman\’s body after ovulation. Before ovulation, there is not much progesterone. If it is present, it will affect the development of follicles. The hormone that causes follicles to develop is estrogen. Before ovulation, the dominant hormone is estrogen;After ovulation, the dominant hormone is progesterone; it can be said that they are very different.
After the fertilized egg implants, it needs a sufficient amount of progesterone. If this hormone is low, there is a risk of miscarriage. Many sisters suffer from not knowing how to increase this vital hormone. It is actually not difficult to increase progesterone. All you need to do is increase estrogen. It\’s that simple!
Why is this? Because hormones do not exist in isolation, they are like an interlocking chain. If you affect one end of the chain, it will directly affect the other end of the chain.
Now, let us examine this hormone chain: In order to conceive a healthy developing embryo, sufficient progesterone support is needed; to secrete sufficient progesterone, a normally functioning embryo is required. The corpus luteum; a normal functioning corpus luteum requires a well-developed follicle; and a good follicle must induce a sufficient amount of LH (luteinizing hormone) receptors; the discharge of eggs and the luteinization of follicles require a sustained and sufficient amount of LH The secretion and full combination of LH receptors; the hormones that promote the increase in LH and induce a large number of receptors are high levels of estrogen and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone); and the hormones that cause FSH to change and increase are also estrogen.
So the bottom line is:The initiating factor in all of this is estrogen.
