FSH, Follicle Stimulating Hormone for example, is pumped out by the Pituitary Gland in your head and must travel down to your ovaries to deliver it’s instruction message. Hormones only travel in the blood. Blood is the delivery system, so making sure it is flowing and moving around your body delivering the hormonal messages is key to setting up the conditions that allow conception to happen.
