It is the reason women can produce eggs and these eggs fertilize with sperm to form a baby. Estrogen can increase due to many reasons including birth control pills and menopause.

In the case of menopause, hormonal fluctuations lead to an increase in appetite and eventual weight gain. During menopause, the body rapidly produces lesser hormones to stop ovulation.
