  2. The pituitary sends reproductive signals through FSH and LH.
  3. Estrogen thickens the uterus lining for potential pregnancy.
  4. Testosterone maintains sperm count and sexual drive.
  5. Stress or sleep disruption can lower fertility hormones.
  6. The thyroid also influences reproductive timing.
  7. Balanced body fat supports healthy hormone production.
  8. Hormonal birth control mimics natural cycles to prevent conception.
  9. Fertility peaks when hormones align perfectly.
  10. It’s biology’s most delicate balancing act.
