Many women don't really understand how the brain, ovaries, and uterus are really connected, right?

So the brain, I like to think about a central command station interpreting hormone signals from your entire body.

And then it's gonna send out signals to allow you to ovulate, right?

And we wanna think about the egg

It's going to allow an egg to grow.

That egg is going to make estrogen.

Estrogen talks back to the brain to communicate that a mature egg is there.

And it's really specific.

200 picograms of estrogen for 50 hours is a signal high enough to get the brain to send out an LH surge to ovulate.

And then you'll ovulate, and then the brain continues to send out LH to make progesterone.

So the brain talks to the ovary.

The ovary grows a nug and makes hormones.

Those hormones talk back to the brain, but also talk to the uterus and prepare it.

Estrogen grows the lining.

Progesterone then opens and closes the implantation window.

We want to think about what it takes to get pregnant.

we'll just say in women, we'll leave men out of it for a hot minute.

We need, the brain has to be able to interpret hormone signals.

So it has to be able to hear.

When does that not happen?
