How Female Reproduction System Works - A Delicate Balance

Given the complexity of the reproductive system, it's amazing that it works as often as it does. Plus, we have not spoken about the male side of the equation. We have not even begun to address how other hormones in the body may affect the reproductive hormones, or how age, weight, and other factors can impact this delicate system.
When you really look at it, it's quite amazing, and for me, inspires a deep sense of awe in the world we live in and the things that many of us take for granted.
