Now fertility I think is very similar to a basketball team: all the parts of the body must work together for one to be fertile. In basketball you have the point guard, the shooting guard, the small forward, the power forward, the center and you can’t forget the coach. So in the world of fertility, the main players involved are the uterus, the ovaries, the cervix/vagina, the fallopian tubes, the sperm, and all the hormones.
The ovaries are like the point guard. Their goal is to shoot, run the plays and make sure that the ball gets into the right hands.
The shooting guard and the small forward are like the fallopian tubes. Their responsibility is to make sure that the ball makes it down the court, and the plays are set up properly so the ball can be scored.
The power forward and the center are like the cervix and the vagina. They are there to make sure that the path is clear to the hoop and make sure everything stays on course.
The Uterus is like the basketball court because it is where all the magic happens.
The hoop is like the sperm: reason being is that when the hoop and the ball match up the team SCORES!
Lastly the coach is like the hormones because the coach is the one who plans and orchestrates the whole game. Without the coach the players wouldn’t play as well and the likely hood of scoring is diminished.
I know that this analogy might not be the best but I wanted a way to explain the fact that the body has many different integral parts and that when they all work together, life is good. When even one player is not working well, the whole team can suffer and in the long run the game suffers. The goal for fertility is to get the team working well and unfortunately that is much easier said than done.
