A member asked:
Can the prolonged production of estrogen in my uterus affect my fertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can. The extra estrogen can cause a "over growth" condition of the lining of the uterus called endometrial hyperplasia. Without the counterbalance effect of progesterone a "message" is sent back to the pituitary gland shutting down ovulation, thus no pregnancy.
