Mood Changes are linked to low fertility

Tired, moody and can't fall pregnant ...? it's your hormones!

Hormones play havoc with your moods and fertility. When your hormones are imbalanced, you are much more likely to suffer from fatigue, forgetfulness, mood swings, sleep disturbances and it plays havoc with your fertility.

Living in the 'fast' world of today exposes you to unavoidable levels of stress - causing elevated cortisol levels. The problem is, sustained high levels of cortisol destroy healthy muscle (important for burning calories); impairs your metabolism and contributes to mood changes. These are some of the reasons why your moods can be an important symptom that your hormones are lowering your fertility.

Left untreated, mood changes can cause chaos in your life and relationships with those around you, and to fall pregnant naturally, it's important to have a healthy, stable outlook on life.

Cortisol also stimulates the release of glucose, potentially contributing to metabolic syndrome and subsequent weight gain. It stimulates your appetite and can leave you craving carbohydrates. Something you don't need when you are trying to maintain a healthy body weight so you can fall pregnant naturally faster.

This rebound effect is often incorrectly labeled as emotional eating. Although some of us do eat for comfort, often the cravings are ravenous and uncontrollable. If this is happening to you, it could be your hormones!

Most importantly it interferes with healthy hormonal function, contributing to conditions such as Thyroid imbalance, and ovarian imbalances such as PCOS, Fibroids and Endometriosis. All of these lead to lowered fertility potential.

If you have are suffering from mood changes, take heart in realizing there are many things you can do naturally, without drugs. Like any conditions related to hormone imbalance, improving your lifestyle and making the right dietary changes; you can restore your health.

Doing nothing can not only cause chaos in your life, but it can hold you back from reaching your full fertility potential.
