Estrogen are a group of hormones that play an important role in growth and reproductive development - estradiol, estriol, and estrone.
The ovaries, produce eggs (ova), which are the main source of estrogen from the body.
Fat tissue and the adrenal glands also make small amounts of estrogen.
Estrogen levels fluctuate depending on the stage of life.
Estrogen will also fluctuate during the menstrual cycle.
Estrogen is low during menstruation and gradually rises during the follicular phase and reaching a peak at ovulation.
The role of estrogen is to prepare the lining of the uterus for conception if it occurs.🤰
After its peak at ovulation, estrogen levels gradually decline during the luteal phase as progesterone takes over as the dominant hormone.
You can think of estrogen as a ‘goldilocks’ hormone — having too much or too little can lead to imbalances.
Balancing estrogen levels is an individualised journey.
