How can you increase oxytocin naturally?
By having fun! Massage, hugging, kissing, holding hands, controlled sex (like tantra), hanging with friends, cuddling, eye gazing, etc. A good book for reference is The Chemistry of Connection.
What results from negative feedback regulation of hormones?
Negative feedback regulation of hormones helps maintain homeostasis in the body by inhibiting hormone production when levels reach a certain threshold. For example, when a hormone's effects are achieved, it signals the glands to reduce or stop its secretion, preventing excessive action. This mechanism ensures stable physiological conditions and prevents hormonal imbalances, which could lead to various health issues. Overall, it is a crucial process for regulating bodily functions and maintaining equilibrium.

How do i increase my progesterone levels naturally through food?
Rather than increasing the progesterone levels you should aim at balancing the hormone levels - especially oestrogen. Soy foods are phytoestrogens and are effective in doing this. In general the more balanced and healthy your diet the more your hormones willbe in balance. Thyme and turmeric have been suggested as progesterone promoters (they are quite drinkable together in a tea). However, if your diet includes a lot of the bad stuff (white flour, white sugar, processed foods and alcohol etc) your body will be fighting without any nutritional help. Remember to keep hydrated and include omega 3 and 6 oils. Good luck!

Would you have problems with bleeding if you have low progesterone?
I started havng really bad cramps and a little brownish discharge. My doctor performed a series of tests and it turned out that my progesterone was low, 15.4. Then,my doctor put me on prgesterone vaginal suppositories. I go back next week to have my progesterone monitored.
The answer is definitely YES! I had PCOS for many years because I had almost no Progesterone in my system. I use to miss periods for 4 - 6 months before I came on again. What bothers me is that your doc put you on Progesterone Vaginal Suppositories. This is not natural at all. What I would suggest is that you try Naturone which is a 100% natural cream. I started using this cream 2 months ago, and got a full period in less than two weeks after that. You can order this cream at www.naturone.com. There you will find all the information you need. Trust me, after 14 years of PCOS, this is the only product that works.
I agree that it could be an issue with low progesterone. I also have PCOS and low progesterone with all my pregnancies. However, I think your doctor did the right thing by giving you the vaginal suppositories. I used them with my first successful pregnancy. The ones my doctor prescribed were very natural. It was pure progesterone and glycerin to give the progesterone their solid form. The suppositories are much better than the synthetic pills or gels that are inserted vaginally. Stay with the suppositories. It puts the progesterone right where it needs to be. I also had the same kind of spotting.
Yes. i have a daughter she is 3 yrs old, and i want more kids i am trying for abt 1 year now so, i went to my doctor and he said that i am not producing any eggs what does that mean and how do i start producing eggs back
