Supposedly, estrogen dominance can make trying to get pregnant more difficult.
Estrogen Dominance is the result of excessive estrogen and progesterone deficiency. It affects about 50% of Western women. It is an epidemic of gigantic proportion. The primary causes are excessive environmental estrogen , obesity, stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and unopposed estrogen given as part of a hormone replacement therapy. Estrogen dominance is a major root cause of a myriad of conditions including PMS, endometriosis, cystic breast disease, PCOS, uterine fibroid, and breast cancer. Fortunately, the level of estrogen in our body can be reduced.
Following the estrogen reduction protocol will go a long way to reduce the amount of estrogen in your body and curing women from the dreaded illnesses.
You need to start on an personalized estrogen reduction program, through consulting with a qualified ND.
A complete personalized nutritional cocktail to help you reduce your internal estrogen load. Lifestyle and dietary changes would be implemented. The right amount of natural progesterone cream would be administered and adjusted over time.
Recommendations for Progesterone Low or Estrogen Dominance
Vitex ( Chasteberry ) - increases luteinizing hormone production while inhibiting the release of follicle stimulating hormone, leading to an indirect increase in progesterone and a normalization of prolactin levels. If taken regularly for several months, it helps to restore hormonal balance .
Natural Progesterone - Estrogens and progesterone tend to be antagonistic hormones, each balancing the other. When progesterone levels are low, it can seem as though estrogen levels are too high, which may or may not be the case. Supplementation with natural progesterone corrects the real problem: progesterone deficiency.
P.S. Before using estrogen balancing medications whether natural or not, laboratory testing should be conducted to confirm elevated levels.
Evening Primrose Oil: 500 - 1000 mg
Pyridoxine 50-100 mg,
Fish oil 200-1000 mg,

Magnesium 200-800 mg,
Vitamin C 100-1000 mg,
Folic acid 100-800 mcg;

Stress Reduction - the adrenal gland is where stress is expressed. Chronic stress leading to adrenal fatigue is a leading cause of progesterone depletion and thus estrogen dominance. Balancing excessive estrogen requires taking into consideration steps to reduce and remove stressors which compromise adrenal function . Many women with estrogen dominance will see their symptoms improve by simply optimizing the adrenal gland function for the simple reasons that a properly functioning adrenal gland will put out the necessary progesterone needed to balance any excessive estrogen.
