Cyclic progesterone therapy for PCOS just got a little more interesting.

A recent study found that pregnancy-level progesterone may help “reset” the o***y by temporarily suppressing follicle development, clearing accumulated antral follicles, and improving subsequent follicle selection.

This potentially adds a new dimension to the rationale for Jerilynn Prior's cyclic progesterone therapy.

Please make sure your acupuncturist has the required level of training. It should be a three year degree course, check if they are a member of the British Acupuncture Council as their members have the full three years training.

One of the gut microbiome's many jobs is to make hormones, including an important progesterone-derived neurosteroid called allopregnanolone. Targeting the gut bacteria could, therefore, help to treat premenstrual mood symptoms and postpartum depression. Link: https://neurosciencenews.com/microbiome-pregnancy-ppd-26175/

Great post on AMH.

Ever offered the so-called "egg timer" fertility test? It's a blood test for the ovarian hormone AMH. The problem is it cannot actually predict fertility.

AMH tests "should not be ordered or used to counsel women about their reproductive status or future fertility," say experts. Nor should they be used to predict menopause.

Bacterial imbalances in the semen could impact s***m count and quality. Specifically, a high level of semen Lactobacillus iners has been linked with low s***m motility. Researchers say that promoting a healthy gut could also support a healthy semen microbiome.
