One of the most common causes of infertility in women is related to ovulation problems. Some of these ovulation problems are caused by hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome which affect the release of eggs from the ovaries.
Other disorders that can affect ovulation and impact the menstrual cycle include hyperthyroidism, where too much thyroid hormone is being produced and hypothyroidism, where there is too little being produced. Other underlying causes that may impact ovulation include excessive exercise during IVF, eating disorders, injury or tumours.
Assessing and correcting fertility problems is the first step in any fertility treatment and at Fertility First, we want to make the process as easy as possible with minimal invasiveness. In general, women may help improve fertility through lifestyle modifications under the guidance of their fertility specialist.
