What between infertile patients and Chemistry?

Patients are the last part of using the chemistry chain. If we want or not it defines our body, our health and our fertility.

We as patients, usually does not understand the exact mechanism of the medication on our body or in infertility cases the role of a cycle. We do not know that, but, we know if it does work – according to the result – pregnant or not.

We as patients, do not know what really happened in our body but, we can assist the chemistry to work if we just listen to our body, with doctors advise, keep it balanced with the right vitamins, the right minerals and so on.

As patients, we want a result, but it comes with minimum understanding about what is right to our body – this minimum should come from the chemistry experts that provide us the right formulas. Even than we need to understand what the doctor instructions are.

Even our mood is hormonally affected. Sometimes I hear patients complained about mood changing or gaining weight “because of the hormonally treatments”.

 My answer usually is: “hormone do not have calories, balance your eating and see the difference”.

So to conclude – there is a strong connection between chemistry and infertile patient’s treatment – working together will improve the results.
