Exam Study Guide
how to manage infertility - ANSWER -psychosocial considerations
-non-medical treatment (herbal alternative methods)
-medical therapy
-therapeutic insemination
-surgical therapies
assistive reproductive techniques - ANSWER -in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer
-gamete infra fallopian transfer
-zygote intrafallopian transfer
-ovum transfer
-therapeutic donor insemination
-embryo hosting
-assisted embryo hatching
pharmacological agents for infertility - ANSWER -clomiphene citrate
-gonadotropins
clomiphene citrate - ANSWER -used to induce ovulation if women has normal ovaries,
prolactin level, and an intact pituitary gland
-should be limited to 6 ovulatory cycles
how successful is clomiphene citrate - ANSWER -induces ovulation in about 70% of
women and 30-40% become pregnant
-10% develop multiple pregnancies, usually twins
gonadotropins - ANSWER -indicated for first line for anovulatory women with low to
normal levels of gonadotropins (FSH, LH)
-used as secondary line of therapy if fail to ovulate/concieve with clomid
-used in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation with assisted reproduction
, therapeutic insemination - ANSWER depositing sperm at the cervical os or in the uterus
by mechanical means
indications for therapeutic insemination - ANSWER -oligospermia
-decreased motility
-abnormal morphology
-anatomical morphology
-anatomical defect of male
-unexplained infertility
-cervical factors
assisted reproductive technology - ANSWER fertility treatments in which both eggs and
sperm are handled
assisted reproductive technology examples - ANSWER -in vitro fertilization-embryo
transfer
-gamate intrafallopian transfer
-zygote intrafallopian transfere
-ovum transfer
-donor embryo
-gestational carrier
-therapeutic donor insemination
-intracytoplasmic sperm injection
invitro fertilization - ANSWER -womens ovaries are stimulated with medication
-one or more oocytes are aspirated with US guidance
-fertilization in lab
-placed in uterus after normal embryo development has begun (3-5 days)
how much does in vitro fertilization cost - ANSWER ~12,400 per cycle
intracytoplasmic sperm injection - ANSWER -Oocytes retrieved laparoscopically
-Single sperm injected into egg
-Embryo transferred to uterus in 3-5 days
