Estrogen

During puberty, increasing estrogen levels promote breast development. During the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle, estrogen increase causes the bleeding to stop.

Placenta produces those hormones.But it is a temporary gland.

It can increase blood pressure and your chance of developing breast cancer, stroke or heart attack.

Found the following at http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C621300.html under Recommendations and Treatments for high Testosterone Level: Hormone - Estrogen Replacement

"Low estrogens allow the circulating androgens and testosterone to be more freely available and thus stimulate cells more. Increasing the circulating estrogen in the blood by taking estrogens will increase the proteins that bind the androgens and help decrease the effects of all androgens, whether the levels are normal or excessive."

Also from http://www.drmirkin.com/women/1233.html

"Just taking birth control pills markedly lower a woman's blood levels of testosterone because the estrogen in birth control pills shuts down the brain that produces FSH the hormone that causes the ovaries to produce testosterone."

Not certain on the reliability of these sources, but either or both might be correct. So the higher your estrogen level, the lower your testosterone level will be? x

They are made in the ovaries. They are responsible for female sexual development and maintenance mainly.

There are actually a bunch of different hormones that cause the changes during puberty, but the dominant one in males is testosterone, while the dominant one in females is estrogen.

Yes, from phytoestrogens

yes, estrogen is a lipid soluble hormone.

I just had a failed IVF cycle and they noticed that two days prior to my egg retrieval my estrogen level plummeted. They are contributing this to possibly being the reason for the failed attempt. I have read a few things that suggest estrogen is important for the embroy to adhere to the uterus lining.

There are many secondary sexual characteristics caused by testosterone, including growth of facial, chest, and armpit hair. Enlargement of the voice box leading to an Adam's apple and a deeper voice. Broadening of the shoulders. Increased secretion of the sweat, and oil glands. Increased muscle mass.

no the ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone.

they produce eggs

Well u could do a highly androgenic anabolic steroid, All that testosterone will undoubtedly convert to a high amount of estrogen... OR ask doc for some pills...

Most birth control pills already contain estrogen, and taking more isn't normally done. If your pill does not contain estrogen, there is a medical reason why your health care provider chose that one for you. Talk to your helath care provider to find out why estrogen was prescribed along with the birth control pill.

Estrogen is the male and female sex hormone that comes to work beginning at puberty....... the pituitary gland is in your brain and what you might call "Programmed" to open around the ages 9-14 depending on the individual. When it opens the estrogen becomes active. it is controlled by your brain

Exercise increases bone strength. Without getting too long and drawn out your body reacts to the micro fractures (no, not actual breaks in the bone) along the bone cells by reinforcing them with more calcium. This creates a cycle by which, over time, the bones become stronger than before the person exercised.

"Normal" Testosterone levels will vary from person to person. So actually there is no 'set' normal, such as you would find in a red or white blood count. My experience, as a 59 year old white male is as follows. My testosterone was what my doctor described as "normal" in the mid 400's range.

However, I was experiencing fatigue, low sex drive, extreme hot flashes, a sense of worthlessness as my wife put it "a grumpy OLD man", and gaining weight around the mid section. After explaining this to my doctor he agreed to try biweekly testosterone injections of 200 ml. This was a great help beginning the day after I would inject myself and last about 6 to 7 days there after. My injections are now weekly with 150ml. I now feel great beginning the day after the injection and generally lasting for about 6 days. By the time the 7th days rolls around I am more than ready for my weekly injection.

I feel that when I return to my doctor in November I am going to ask if weekly injections of 200ml would resolve the issue of ups and downs. By the way, I have lost 42 pounds, I am only the "grumpy old man" as my injection day nears and I feel more energized and hot flashes only around the 6th day after the injection. I can honestly say that I feel like I am 35 or 40 again. I was ready for the rocking chair and chasing kids off the lawn before I found the hormone replacement therapy

I am truly thankful for my VA doctor who had the knowledge to go outside the box and go with the testosterone injections even though I was well in the "normal" range. I would suggest to anyone that if you are experiencing these types of symptoms please urge your doctor to at least try testosterone. Realizing that it is not for everyone, however, there are many men and WOMEN that can take advantage of this type of treatment.

I forgot to add that my wife also receives a MINOR dose of testosterone and her results are amazing as well. However, be extremely careful. Too much testosterone in women can have disastrous effects, effects that may be permanent. Injections are NOT, repeat are NOT for women unless your doctor prescribes and then get a second opinion! My wife's levels were around 10 to 12 before the treatments now she is feeling great . I can't imagine life before this treatment nor how I would feel today without them.

In the female gonads - ovaries. Other hormone they produce is progesterone. These are sex hormones which regulate menstrual cycle, activate mammary glands and regulate the feminine characteristics of body shape.

•The marked changes in the body and in the way we behave at puberty are entirely due to hormones.

•the ovaries in the female become active, and secrete testosterone or oestrogens respectively. These hormones are mostly responsible for young people developing from children into young adults.

•Puberty is a time of great change. Not only does the body alter from a child-like shape to a more adult one, but things like friendships, attitudes to others (of both sexes) and to one's parents all change quite dramatically.

•Hormones also get blamed for lots of other things around puberty - mostly bad things, like acne, moodiness, tiredness, bad temper, greasy hair, sleeping a lot.

Estrogen is produced in part by the follicles in the ovaries. Additionally, its production is helped by the placenta, and corpus luteum.

Progesterone counteracts the dangerous effects of excess estrogen in the body. I'm not 100% on what estrogen does, but I know birth control works by tricking the body into thinking it's already pregnant so you stop ovulating. That might be where the estrogen comes into play.

it increase the growth of female,

added to above:Yes but by allowing the healthy development of the females organs and body.

PCOS does not cause early menopause, but it can cause missed periods. PCOS is something that is best monitored by your doctor because it can actually cause a lot of problems outside of reproductive issues. Insulin resistance, weight gain, joint pain, and depression can all be side effects of PCOS.

The follicular phase begins when the level of estrogen in the blood is relatively

They are the two main hormones regulating the menstrual cycle and fertility.
