This weeks Fertility Focus is on dopamine and its role in supporting fertility. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that allows you to feel pleasure, satisfaction, optimism, and reward. It can also support fertility by restraining prolactin levels. High prolactin levels can interfere with ovulation and cause other symptoms such as irregular menstrual periods and milk discharge from breasts. A blood test can assess prolactin levels, and dopamine agonist medications can be prescribed to increase dopamine levels. Exercise can also naturally increase dopamine levels too!!
