Infertility

The ability to conceive a baby and enjoy a healthy pregnancy depends upon many factors. A critical reason for infertility is lack of hormone balance. The femal sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone & testosterone) along with the thyroid and adrenal hormones are major factors in your ability to become pregnant and maintain a healthy pregnancy.  Nutrient deficiency may also contribute to fertility issues.

This questionnaire lists symptoms commonly found in women suffering from an imbalance of female hormones and/or thyroid hormones. Please read each question carefully and check the box if it applies to you. When you finish, the form will automatically calculate your score.
