Estrogen Dominance and Fertility
Does excess estrogen lower my fertility?
Women with health conditions such as Endometriosis, Fibroids, PCOS and Cysts are thought to be exposed to high levels of oestrogen for too long. This is called Oestrogen Dominance. Other factors that contribute to these conditions are hormonal imbalances associated with progesterone. This is why oestrogen dominance lowers your fertility and makes falling pregnant faster in your 20's, 30's. 40's and beyond difficult.
Oestrogen excess does not necessarily occur because the ovaries make too much oestrogen; there is usually a problem with availability and clearance of oestrogen. My Natural Fertility program; BumpFertility, is designed to balance estrogen levels and enhance excess clearance.
Our hormonal system is a complex system of glands and hormones which control development, growth, reproduction and behavior. When the delicate balance is disrupted by oestrogen excess, many hormone problems can occur and your fertility potential is greatly reduced.
Estrogen excess is known to decrease thyroid activity and to encourage the storage of blood sugar as fat - two biomarkers directly affecting your fertility.

Hormones change naturally during the menstrual cycle and are the key to your reproductive health. Changes usually occur as a result of influences from your thyroid, adrenals, ovaries and pancreas. Estrogen Dominance will have a direct impact upon your fertility potential.
