Dear Midwife,
My doctor did blood work on me, I was having pregnancy symptoms and the test was negative, it turns out my estrogen level is higher than my progesterone and I have polycystic syndrome. She said that means I am not ovulating. And that’s why I had trouble conceiving the 2 children I have now. It took us 7 months to get pregnant with our 2 year old.
A woman's tolerance of pain may have more to do with the power of her reproductive hormones than the strength of her muscles.
That's the theory a group of Michigan researchers presented Feb. 18 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Denver.
"Our studies have shown that although pain is influenced by both genetics and brain chemistry, it is clear that gender and hormones also play a role in our individual response to pain," says Dr. Jon-Kar Zubieta, lead researcher and a University of Michigan neuroscientist.

Increased body fat may promote breast cancer by increasing levels of certain hormones, which in turn raises circulating estrogen levels. High estrogen levels promote breast cancer, since many breast cancers are "estrogen-dependent".
