Day 3
How do you reduce high fsh levels?
High FSH Reducing and improving Egg Quality Herbal Support used with a comprised of a balanced combination of herbs containing medicinal qualities that help improving egg quality and reducing High FSH levels. After two months of using this formula the FSH level tested in the blood on day three of the menstrual cycle was found to be reduced in hundreds of cases. The treatment by this herbal support is commended to increase the egg quality for naturally getting pregnant, or while going through IUI or IVF treatment. The treatment increases the blood supply around the ovary, warming it so it can produce fully ripened quality eggs.
What effects would low FSH levels have on sperm production?
Follicle Stimulating Hormone stimulates follicle and egg maturation in females and stimulates sperm production and maturation in males. Therefore low levels of FSH slows spermatogenesis.
What causes the peak in luteinizing hormone?
In the beginning of the menstrual cycle, LH and FSH stimulate the ovaries to make estrogen. During this time, there is a negative feedback loop, so levels of all three hormones are rather low. Eventually, as the estrogen levels slowly creep up, there comes a time when it switches from negative feedback to positive feedback (not exactly sure what the biochemical basis of this is), and LH and FSH levels skyrocket (estrogen levels go up to, but not as sharply, and there is always more LH than FSH). The LH surge causes ovulaton. The corpus luteum starts secreting progesterone, which inhibits LH and FSH secretion in a negative feedback manner, and so FSH and LH levels drop sharply.
