Introduction

• Hormones are vital to the proper functioning of
  the body. A human body has over 50 known hormones
  cruising through its blood to regulate bodily
  functions and the various systems in it. These
  functions include metabolism, the regulation of
  temperature, and growth. Any abnormality in the
  quality or the quantity of the hormones can cause
  hormonal imbalance. Timing of the hormones
  release and its interaction with other hormones
  are also very important.
• Several hormones are responsible for maintaining
  fertility in females. An imbalance in any one of
  these hormones can cause difficulty in becoming
  pregnant. If you have been trying to get pregnant
  for a long time or just planning for a baby now,
  it is always wise to know if your hormone levels
  are normal beforehand.

Effect

• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)This hormone
  is key to the regular menstrual cycle and helps
  induce the maturation of eggs in the ovaries.
  Women who have ovarian function loss have high
  levels of FSH as the body tries to compensate for
  the lack of function.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH)Luteinizing hormone is
  responsible for the release of the mature egg
  during ovulation. Most ovulation prediction kits
  use this hormone as it increases before
  ovulation.
• Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)Anti-Mullerian
  Hormone is produced by the ovarian follicles that
  contain immature eggs. The levels of this hormone
  are used to predict the number of eggs that are
  remaining in the ovary. Reduced AMH often can
  point to infertility.

• EstrogenEstrogen is a hormone that supports the
  regulation and development of primary and
  secondary sex characteristics and the
  reproductive system in females. Estrogen
  dominance is sometimes found responsible for the
  difficulty in conception.
• ProgesteroneProgesterone is a hormone that is
  vital to maintaining a pregnancy. It helps the
  uterine lining to thicken to help grow an embryo.
  Low progesterone levels in a woman can lead to
  miscarriages.
• Thyroid hormonesAmong the thyroid hormones, T3
  and T4 are the ones that are related to
  reproduction. These also have an impact on
  digestion and the metabolic rate. If you have
  thyroid hormone imbalances you may have a problem
  getting pregnant.
• ProlactinThe hormone prolactin is essential for
  the production of breast milk. But that is not
  all it does. It plays an elemental role in
  helping women get pregnant. If your prolactin
  levels are not normal, you may experience
  irregular periods and have ovulation problems.

Signs 

• Most women experiencing hormonal imbalances can
  experience one or more of the following symptoms.
  In many none of the external symptoms can be
  seen. These symptoms are not to be used to
  self-diagnose.

• Facial hair
• Acne
• Male pattern body hair or hair loss
• Weight gain
• Mood changes

7
Causes 

• The most common causes of hormonal imbalances
  that can cause infertility or difficulty in
  getting pregnant are
• Anovulation This is a condition where a woman
  does not ovulate.
• Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome In PCOS, the woman
  has a hormonal disorder that causes the eggs to
  stay immature and turns them into cysts. This can
  often cause difficulty in getting pregnant and
  can also cause infertility.
• Hyperprolactinemia In this condition, the woman
  has an excess of prolactin in their body. This
  causes them to have irregular periods and
  infertility.
