what is an ovulation
ovaries don’t release an oocyte during a menstrual cycle
menstruation phase when
prolif phase when what is secreted
secretory phase when what is secreted
when is the max reception ability for blastocyte
d1-4
d4-14 oestrogen
d14-28 progesterone
secretory phase
HCG during pregnancy pattern
HCS during preg pattern
increased peaks then falls
increases from week 5 (not right from beginning tho)
IVF conditions
unexplained infertility > 2years pelvic disease anovulatory infertility other pre implantation genetic disease male factor infertility >1x106 motile sperm
steps of IVF
down regulation with synthetic GnRH analogue baseline scan ovarian stimulation GnRH with LH or FSH action scan sperm sample oocyte collection embryologist transfer
risks of buseralin
hot flushes
mood swings
nasal irritation
headaches
treatment for OHSS
before transfer - coasting, stop GNT, freeze, single embryo transfer
after transfer - moniter, anti thrombin, analgesia, admite
ART before treatment for females
alcohol down to 4 units/ week weight 19-29 stop smoking FA 0.4g/day cervical smear, rubella immunity, Hep B and C, HIV, assess ovarian reserve
IUI
increase the number of sperm reaching the fallopian tube
unexplained infertility, mild/mod endometriosis, mild male factor infertility
ICSI
severe male infertility, prev failed IVF, preimplantation genetic disease
Aspiration
azoospermia
sperm aspirated surgically then ICSI
95% success rate of obtaining sperm if obstructive - epididymis
50% in non
obstructive causes of male infertility
non obstructive
CF vasectomy, infection
crytochordism, mumps, orchis, chemo/radio, tumours, klinfelters, semen abnormality, systemic, endocrine
donor insemination
azoospermia or very low sperm count
genetic/infective disease
crytochordism treatment
<14s orchidopexy
adults orchidectomy
androgen insensitivity syndrome
46XY
primary amen. lack of pubic hair
no uterus no ovaries, short vagina
klinfelters
47XXY
gynacamastia, infertility, decreased facial and body hair, small testes
testosterone replacement therapy
liomyoma
can increased in response to oestrogen (pregnancy)
commoner in afrocarribean populations
liomyosarcoma
spindle cell morphology
aggressive tumour
surgical resection
endometritis
cervical mucous plug protects endometrium from ascending infection and so does cyclic shedding
chronic plasmocytic endometrium
associated with PID
adenomyosis
endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium
mennorhagia/dysmennorhea
anovulatory causes of DUB
ovulatory
obese. extremes of repro life. PCOS, thyroid, prolactin, irregular cycle
35-45, regular heavy periods, inadequate progesterone production, abnormal follicles
treatment of DUB
progesterone, COCP, GnRH, NSAIDs, antifibrinolytics, capillary wall stabilisation, mirena
ablation/resection or hysterectomy
TVUS
> 16mm in pre meno
4mm in post meno
do biopsy
