Q

What is the signal for the LH surge?

A

Estrodiol positive feedback a sustained 200pgx50hours. This triggers hypothalamus to pulse out GnRH like crazy to trigger the LH surge (with a little FSH trailing behind)

Q

What hormone inhibits LH, relaxes myometrium and tubes, develops breast lobules and promotes the secretory endometrium?

A

Progesterone

18
Q

T/F: during early menarche (11-15) there is earlier ovulation due to the body’s sensitivity to hormones

A

True. You could get pregnant during your period.

19

20
Q

Draw slide 51 - feedback loops - add to diagram

A
21
Q

When does hCG first appear?
How long does it stimulate the CL progesterone secretion?

A

9-13 days after ovulation
For 9-10 weeks or 100 days until the placenta takes over.

22
Q

What does SERM mean and what is an example?

A

Selective Estrogen Receptor
Clomiphene (Clomid) - tricks the pituitary into producing more FSH and LH (act as as anti-estrogen)

23
Q

A

Primary

24
Q

Secondary amenorrhea is absence of _____ cycles (regular period) or _____ (irregular period)

Ovulating.

26
Q

What is the progesterone challenge?

A

Give progesterone for 5-10 day. There should be withdrawal bleeding within 14 days of stopping the Pg - if this bleeding occurs, then ANOVULATION is the reason.

27
Q

A

TSH, prolactin.

28
Q

A
29
Q

If you give estrogen and Pg and you DO have withdrawal bleeding, what is the cause? if you do NOT have withdrawal bleeding?

A

Ovarian failure (not producing estrogen)
Endometrium failure (unable to respond to estrogen) OR
Ectopic production of prolactin.

30
Q

Asherman’s syndrome - do chart on this.

High. (Chromosome eval. - Fragile X?)
NL or low

32
Q

What is the normal prolactin level?

A

20-100. >100 considered abnormal.

33
Q

What is going wrong with the IV compartment (hypothalamus) if there is amenorrhea?
