The trigger that sends signals is called adrenaline. Adrenaline is a hormone that is released by our bodies during stressful times. And adrenaline is the trigger that signals to our body that conditions are not ideal for conception. This is done by adrenaline inhibiting from utilizing the hormone progesterone, and causing the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, both being significant factor that contributes to harder conception.
Stress is also significant contributor for boosting levels of cortisol, also known as stress hormone. If a person, both males and females, is exposed to chronic stress most of the time, it is very possible it may lead to a lack of libido as well as a decrease in general fertility.

Gonadotropin releasing hormone is also to be blamed for the release of Luteinizing hormones and follicle-stimulating hormones by the pituary, the suppression of testosterone, estrogens, and sexual behavior.
