Customer: replied 1 year ago. Approximately how many months would you recommend being on birth control pills to regulate your hormones because I would like to start trying to have a baby soon so I want to be on the pill for as short a period of time as possible. Thanks. Expert: Dr. David replied 1 year ago.
The endocrine system includes all of the glands of the body and the hormones produced by those glands. The glands are controlled directly by stimulation from the nervous system as well as by chemical receptors in the blood and hormones produced by other glands.he levels of hormones in the body can be regulated by several factors. The nervous system can control hormone levels through the action of the hypothalamus and its releasing and inhibiting hormones. For example, TRH produced by the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce TSH.
