A member asked:
Hi, i just wanted to find out does stress really affect fertility issues in women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: There are many hormones in the body that are interconnected. Cortisol is one of the major stress hormones. Women who have high stress can have abnormal levels of cortisol that then affect the production of the major reproductive hormones of estrogen and progesterone and cause problems in achieving pregnancy.
