Interesting. Hmmm...my understanding is that our hormonal balance is interconnected with our gut health. So, I can see how, they could be related.

Maybe because you are put on antibiotics??

What is in the injections?

Soybean oil in some of the hormone injections.

Not to mention that there is a pre-existing issue if infertility treatments/IVF is needed. that says the body is already having issues. I'm not sure it is just about the treatments so much as the state of the body.

Just read an article about hormones being the culprit. Causing candida and therefore increased chance of allergies/sensitivies and skin conditions etc.

I partially disagree with this as it implies that infertility is a women's issues. Unless of course you are referring to the state of the man's body as well.
I believe they say 40% of infertility is men's issues, 40% women's, 10% combination and 10% unknown. Don't quote me on that though.

Hormone shifts don't cause candida. They can create a shift in the body to make it more favorable for the growth of candida. There is a difference.

Yes, I'm referring the the body in general. If it is the woman's issue then there is a pre-existing condition. Same would go for a man.

I don't pay much attention to what "they" say, to be honest.

Yes well said. The article was saying that the 1st step in addressing candida is to stop taking hormones (birth control pills and hormones for menopause) and then go from there.

I am really interested in the father's health status at conception and if this is a contributing factor in allergies or do they just play a part in the genetic area. Do you know any thing about this?

there have been a few threads about this.

I don't think that most of it is genetic. I think most of what we see is inherited deficiencies from both mom and dad and the issue is not genetics, it's epigenetics. Genetic potential and genetic expression are two very different things. What we need to know is why, or in what circumstances are the genes activated.

Yes, the father's health contributes quite a bit. But IMO not in the way most everyone thinks.
