What is infertility? |
After one year of frequent, unprotected sexual intercourse there is no conception or maintenance of pregnancy. |
|
Primary vs secondary infertility |
Primary: No pregnancys Secondary: having had miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy |
|
Endometriosis |
tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus, the endometrium grows outside your uterus (endometrial implant). Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, bowel or the tissue lining your pelvis. can interfere with tubal patency |

|
|

when a sex chromosome (the X chromosome) is missing or partially missing. Turner syndrome can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure to start puberty, infertility, heart defects, certain learning disabilities and social adjustment problems. |
|

|
Cervical mucus problems |
cuased by vaginal infections or hormone deficiencies. |
|
Treamtnet of cervical mucus problems |
|
|
FSH hormone |
Only if femals, used to stimulate overys to produce steriods. Will produce estradiol during follicular phase and progesterone during luteal phase, surge at midcycle with LH and triggers ovulation. |
|
LH hormone |
Used to stimulate overys to produce steoroids. Surges at midcycle triggers ovulation. luteinizing hormone turns the follicle into corpeus luteum by triggering ovulation, also preps uterus for fertilized egg |
|

Venous blood is taken to assess levels of FSH and LH along with prolactin( pregnant women have high levels) levels |
|
Postcoital Exam Female DX studies |
Couple has intercourse 8-12 hrs prior to exam, 1-2 days before ovulation. Then a 10cc syringe with catheter attached is used to collect a specimen of secretions from the vagina. they are tested for s/s of infection, if sperm is active or if there is a mucus to sperm interaction |
|
Endometrial Biopsy Female DX studies |
When a small sample of the lining of the uterus is taken and biopsyed to check for a luteal phase defect(lack of progesterone). The pt is given paracervical block to decrease cramping and pain |
|
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) Female DX studies |
an X-ray with contrast test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them. can detect uterine anomalies (septate, unicornate, bicornate and tilted) along with detecting tubal anomalies or blockage. |
|
Semen Analysis Male DX studies |
men ejaculate into a specimen container and then is examined for number, morphology and motility and pH. Pt must be abstinent for 3 day prior and needs at least 2ml of sample and must be taken to the lab 30-60 min after. |

Penis: Testes: manufacturer sperm and produce male hormone Semen: sperm 20% and plasma 80% Testosterone: most abundant male hormone
|
|
Female Reproducive system |
Vagina: Cervix: alkaline environment + mucus plug Uterus: site of implantation of fertilized egg has 3 parts, Fundus is a big part Fallopian tubes: site of fertilization Ovaries: produce estrogen and progestogen Breasts: gets food and antibodies to baby during breastfeeding
|
|
Anterior Pituitary |
secretes FSH and LH |
|
FSH |
stimulates the ovarian follicle causing an egg to grow. It also triggers the production of estrogen in the follicle. The rise in estrogen tells the pituitary gland to stop producing FSH and to start making more LH. |
|
LH |
LH causes the egg to be released from the ovary, a process called ovulation |
|
Cycle |
Anterior pituitary secrestes FSH and LH > Ovulation occurs when mature oveum is released> corpus luteum turns yellow and secretes incresed amts of progesteron > if no fertilization then corpus luteum degenerates and estrofen and prog decrease after 12 days > Endometruim breaks down and aperiod occurs |
|
Hormones rise |
Corpus luteum (when egg leaves follicle, the follicle turns into corpus luteum.) releases a hormone tha helps thinken the lining of uterus to get read for egg. |
|
Egg travels to the fallopian tube |
egg is released and moves into fallopian tube and stays there for 24 hrs wating to be fertilized |
