Ovulation

Are you experiencing challenges with ovulation? You can try out ovulation drugs. Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from your ovary. The released egg travels through the fallopian tube waiting for fertilization to take place. Every month, an egg develops and matures in one of the ovaries. Your uterine lining has thickened in preparation for the fertilized egg. If conception occurs, that’s what you have been waiting for, congratulation. On the other hand, if you didn’t conceive, your…

Breastfeeding: Exclusive breast feeding is found to delay the ovulation. 2. Hormonal pattern of mother: Hormonal changes that take place after delivery affect the ovulation. Each woman’s body will respond to the hormonal levels differently. How can breast feeding suppress ovulation? A signal is sent to the pituitary gland and the pituitary gland will release a hormone called prolactin when the baby suckles the breast. The prolactin suppresses the ovulation. As the frequency of the sucking…

Ovaries are pair of small glands similar to almonds, and located in the lateral and superior parts of the uterus. They produce hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and ova, "eggs", or gametes. In fertility lifetime, every month during ovulation, a mature egg is released and travels from the ovary to the fallopian tube, where it might be fertilized before reaching the uterus. Uterus is a hollow muscular organ; it is pear-shaped in posterior and superior to the bladder. The uterus or womb is…

insulin sensitizing agents can increase ovulation rates in some women with PCOS. Metformin has been used widely for that purpose. Aromatase Inhibitors Anastrozole and letrozole are triazole derivatives that act as potent, competitive, nonsteroidal inhibitors of aromatase. Aromatase is an enzyme which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in estrogen production. Letrozole inhibits estrogen production in the hypothalamus–pituitary axis, which results in compensatory increase in gonadotropin-releasing…

why men and women are infertile. About 20% of cases are due to a problem in the man, and 40% to 50% are due to a problem in the woman. One of the leading causes of infertility in the woman is ovulation disorder. Ovulation disorder causes a woman to have either no ovulation cycle, or a very irregular ovulation cycle. There are many factors that have a part in regulating…

uterus for pregnancy, what else? The menstrual cycle has four phases which I want to discuss in a little while. The four phases are in the picture above but let me write it in case it's not clear enough. The Menstrual Phase The Follicular Phase The Ovulation Phase The Luteal Phase Number One. .…

causes can range from pregnancy to simple stress or excessive exercise, or it is simply how the woman developed. This appears to leave these women left wandering in a circle. They cannot have intercourse unless it is their ovulation cycle. They do not know when their ovulation cycle occurs because their menstrual cycle is irregular. In order to regulate, they have the option to take birth control. Birth control is looked down upon by the Church. So what is the woman to do? She does have a few…

generally tied to ovulation. In the female reproductive system, there are two fallopian tubes that extend bilaterally from the uterus, and beneath them are the ovaries, where ovulation occurs.…

release of FSH from the anterior pituitary. Dominant follicles that grow during the luteal phase do not ovulate. Through negative feedback, P4 only allows the secretion of greater amplitude but lesser frequency LH pulses that are inadequate for ovulation of the DF (Ireland et al., 1980; Rahe et al., 1980). During proestrus of the follicular phase, PGF2α secretion from the uterus causes the regression of the CL and progesterone concentrations rapidly decrease (Hansel and Convey, 1983).…
