Immunologic test to determine sperm and cervical mucus interaction
|
sperm immobilization antibody reaction
|
|
|
Basic test for male infertility
|
semen analysis
|
|
|
Test that uses fluid infused into the uterus via the cervix to help define the uterine cavity and the depth of the uterine lining via vaginal ultrasound
|
sonohysterography
|
|
|
Exam of the lining of the uterus to assess its response to progesterone and to detect secretory changes and receptivity to implantation
|
timed endometrial biopsy
|
|
|
Use of a flexible scope threaded through the cervix to directly view the uterine cavity
|
hysteroscopy
|
|
|
Test for adequacy of coital technique, cervical mucus, sperm, and degree of sperm penetration through cervical mucus.
|
postcoital test (PCT)
|
|
|
Exam of uterine cavity and tubes using radiopaque contrast material instilled through the cervix. It is often used to determine tubal patency and to release a blockage if present.
|
hysterosalpingography
|
|
|
Test used to visualize pelvic tissues and structures for a variety of reasons' it may be accomplished via a transabdominal or transvaginal approach
|
ultrasonography
|
|
|
Visualization of pelvic structures intraperitoneally outside the uterus by inserting a small endoscope through an incision in the anterior abdominal wall
|
laparoscopy
|
|
|
Term that refers to subfertility, a prolonged time to conceive
|
infertility
|
|
|
term that refers to an inability to conceive
|
sterility
|
|
|
Collective term used to designate a variety of alternative measures to help infertile couples achieve the goal of a successful pregnancy and live birth
|
assisted reproductive therapies (ARTs)
|
|
|
A woman's eggs are collected from her ovaries, fertilized in the lab with sperm, and transferred into her uterus once normal embryo development has occurred.
|
in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF & ET)
|
|
|
Selection of 1 sperm cell that is injected directly into the egg to achieve fertilization
|
intracytoplasmic sperm injection
|
|
|
Oocytes are retrieved from the ovary, placed into a catheter with sperm, and immediately transferred into the fimbriated end of the uterine tube, where fertilization takes place.
|
gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT)
|
|
|
After in vitro fertilization the ova are placed in 1 uterine tube during zygote stage.
|
zygote intrafallopian tranfer (ZIFT)
|
|
|
Sperm from a person other than the male partner are used to inseminate the female partner
|
therapeutic donor insemination
|
|
|
Embryo(s) from 1 couple are transferred into the uterus of another woman who has contracted with the couple to carry the baby to term. This woman has no genetic investment in the child.
|
gestational carrier (embryo host)
|
|
|
Process by which a woman is inseminated with the semen from the infertile woman's partner and then carries the fetus until birth.
|
surrogate motherhood
|
|
|
The zona pellucida is penetrated chemically or manually to create an opening for the dividing embryo to hatch and to implant into the uterine wall.
|
assisted hatching
|
|
|
A donated embryo is transferred to the uterus of an infertile woman at the appropriate time (normal or induced) of the menstrual cycle.
|
donor embryo (embryo adoption)
|
|
|
Form of early testing designed to eliminate embryos with serious genetic defects before implantation through one of the ARTs and to avoid future termination of pregnancy for genetic reasons.
|
preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)
|
|
|
Procedure used to freeze embryos for later implantation
|
Cryopreservation of human embryos
|
|
|
When should a diagnostic laparoscopy be done to determine the basis of infertility
|
early in menstrual cycle to avoid disturbing a possible fertilized ovum
|
|
|
How to prepare for a diagnostic laparoscopy?
|
NPO for 8 hrs depending on anesthesia used
void B4 procedure Bowel prep may be req'd |
