Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BV, the Vaginal Microbiome and Fertility
Q: When should someone seek specialist fertility advice if experiencing recurrent BV?
Individuals should reach out for specialist advice after six to twelve months of trying to conceive, or sooner if they are over 35.
BV, the Vaginal Microbiome and Fertility
Q: How does BV influence the vaginal pH?
BV leads to a loss of dominance of lactobacilli, which are important for maintaining the ideal vaginal pH necessary for health and fertility.
BV, the Vaginal Microbiome and Fertility
Q: What causes this bacterial imbalance that leads to BV?
Bacterial imbalance can be caused by a range of factors including antibiotics, new sexual partners, diet, and overuse of hygiene products.
Progesterone: The Pro-Pregnancy Hormone
Q: How do progesterone levels typically differ between natural cycles and then when stimulated for fertility treatment?
In a natural cycle, one dominant follicle produces progesterone, while in a stimulated cycle multiple follicles produce higher levels of progesterone, potentially affecting endometrial receptivity.
Progesterone: The Pro-Pregnancy Hormone
Q: What role does progesterone explicitly play in preparing the uterus for pregnancy?
Progesterone affects the cells of the endometrium, making them into welcoming cells that the embryo can implant in.
