The first time a girl gets her period is a defining moment in her life. It marks significant biological changes in her body and means she is now able to conceive a child. Each month when you get your period, also known as menstruation, your body sheds the lining of the uterus. The menstrual blood flows through the cervix and out of the body through the vagina. A typical period lasts anywhere from 3 to 7 days. Here are some important things to know about your periods, for both young women just learning
Birth Control and Fertility One of the most common misconceptions circling society for years is how the use of contraceptives (birth control) can affect women’s fertility. Birth control is a mixture of hormones that thicken the cervical mucus to prevent the ovaries from ovulating eggs, as well as changing the lining of the uterus to make reproduction difficult. For this reason, women use multiple contraceptive methods to help with hormonal issues, menstrual problems, ovarian disorders, but
would occur in a natural menstrual cycle it results in more than one egg being ripened and matured. 1. Sometimes if you are not ovulating, Gonadotrophins are given in the amount roughly equal to that of a natural menstrual cycle and this is called ovulation induction. 2. Gonadotrophins are commonly used in IVF cycles. The intention here is to produce ideally 10 to 15 eggs with the aim of fertilizing them outside the body. The reason why so many eggs are necessary is that the process of IVF is relatively
Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer is a process of assisted reproductive technology. It was first developed in the 1980s in America as a variation of In Vitro Fertilisation.

cancer cases happen in patients that over 65 years, and the risk increases for post-menopausal patients compared to pre-menopausal patients. Another cause of ovarian cancer is the higher number of total lifetime ovulations. There are four main factors that influence the total ovulations. The first factor is never having been pregnant. The patient who has never been pregnant has higher risk of developing cancer than who has become pregnant. The risk probably will decrease if the patient has become
Ovulation issues in women are the most common factor in female infertility (Davis, 2013). Without ovulation there are no eggs produced, therefore, nothing can be fertilized. Ovulation problems such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), is a hormone imbalance problem which can disrupt normal ovulation (Davis, 2013). Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) may also occur once a woman’s ovaries stop working
woman’s uterus to help facilitate the fertilization of an egg. During the process of IUI women begin by taking certain medications that stimulate ovulation. During this time, close monitoring is done to see when the eggs are mature enough for fertilization. According to americanpregnancy.org “The IUI procedure will then be performed around the time of ovulation, typically about 24-36 hours after the surge in LH
injection is then given that causes the release of the eggs from the ovaries. The final step is fertilization through sexual intercourse or artificial insemination (ACOG, 2004). There are risks associated with these types of ART. The use of any ovulation induction therapy can cause a woman’s ovary to swell up to 10 times its normal size (Cowley and Springen, 1997). It is also possible for up to 40 eggs, as opposed to the normal one, to be released in one cycle (Cowley and Springen, 1997). This results
