To explain: The reason for Person A’s infertility when she was inactive.
Introduction: The female reproductive cycle is a unique framework that involves continuous corelation between the ovary and the brain. Hormones released by the hypothalamus, the ovary, and the pituitary are responsible for regulation of the monthly cycle.
Explanation of Solution
Person A and her husband already have two lovely children, full-time jobs, and hectic schedules. Her husband wants them to have more children, and requested her not to use any kind of contraceptive pills. Person A had a weight of 210 pounds. At this weight, she was unable to conceive and also was not having regular periods. Within months following her program of swimming regularly, Person A’s menstrual periods have become regular, and her contraception method is lost. It seems that her better level of physical fitness and body fat has amended her fertility status.
As mentioned earlier, Person A’s lifestyle comprises full-time jobs and hectic schedules, which show high probability of fluctuations in hormones and this affected her health. Pituitary gonadotropin is controlled by the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). If a person has a health issue, this could affect the hormone level. Due to Person A’s overweight, her health was getting affected; this was a reason for her infertility when she was inactive.

She had zero complications, and even with the birth of twins, she felt she was recovering well. The real challenge came when it was time to breastfeed her twins, Silvia and Lynette. Breastfeeding for the first time can be a challenge for any mom, and breastfeeding twins can be double the challenge. Brenna is having major concerns about being able to produce enough milk. Brenna is a small-breasted woman, and she is worried that she will not be able to feed both of her babies. True or false: Brenna will produce enough milk as long as her babies continue to nurse and stimulate production.
