Ovulation is the process of expelling an
egg-cell from the ovary. Without
ovulation, conception is impossible. Women
without ovulation usually experience
irregular periods. Those periods, in fact,
are not a real periods (due to the lack of
ovulation). But in some cases, false
periods can be regular and are called
“pseudomenstruations”. You might be
experiencing this condition.
Women who do not experience ovulation can
detect the hormone progesterone during the
second half of the menstrual cycle.
Progesterone is produced by the yellow
body - a structure that is created from
the remaining follicle after the
ovulation. Further, endometriosis can
disturb ovulation only if it is located on
the ovaries (ovarian endometriosis). If
ovarian endometriosis has caused lack of
ovulation, then ovulation stimulators
(Clomid) probably won’t help.
Low sperm count is present for various
reasons in a man's semem ... but in 50% of
cases, the reason is unknown. Medication
can be given only if the reason for low
sperm count is lack of sex hormones
(testosterone) or the existence of an
infection. Organic reasons (varicocela for
example) are treated surgically.
