Understanding Reproductive Hormones
The Hormonal System That Makes Ovulation Possible
Female reproduction depends on an intricate cascade of hormones produced in the brain and ovaries. Your hypothalamus releases GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone), which signals your pituitary gland to release FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). These hormones stimulate your ovaries to grow follicles, produce estrogen, and eventually release an egg.
When this system breaks down - whether from PCOS, inadequate ovarian response, hormonal imbalances, or unknown causes - ovulation stalls. No ovulation means no egg, and no conception. Peptide hormones act as the missing conductors, restoring coordination between your brain and reproductive organs.
"Modern fertility treatment works by replacing or amplifying the body's natural hormonal signals."
Peptide therapies like GnRH agonists, FSH, hCG, and Kisspeptin precisely replicate or enhance these natural signals, restoring ovulation and dramatically improving fertility outcomes. This is why they're the standard of care in assisted reproduction.
