OB test 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Avg menstrual cycle | 28 days |
Ovarian Cycle | Follicular, Ovulation, Luteal phases |
Uterine/Endometrial Cycle | Menstrual, Proliferative,(ovulation), Secretory, Ischemic |
Ovulation | mid-cycle for both |
Follicular phase | days 1-14, hypothalamus secretes GnRH->stimulates anterior pituitary gland->secrete FSH and LH->matures ovarian follicle |
Ovulation | drop in estrogen 10-12hr after LH peaks, mature ovum leaves ovary->enters fallopian tubes->current to uterus, 14 days before menstruation, ^body temp 1-2 days after |
Luteal Phase | corpus luteum develops from ruptured follicle->secretion of proges ^->fert ovum able to implant into endometrium->secretion of hCG, in absence of fertilization-corpus luteum degenerates-corpus albicans->decrease in estrogen & progesterone->^ in LH & FSH |
Three layers of uterus | Perimetrium/outside, Myometrium/middle, Endometrium/inside |
Menstrual phase | day 1-6, 14 days after ovulation, low estrogen levels-spirial arteries rupture, shed endometrial lining->menses |
Proliferative phase | day 7-14, enlargement of endometrial glands, blood vessels enlarge & dilate, ^ in thickness 6-8 fold, changes in cervical mucus-clear & thin/sperm in, ^estrogen levels, ovulation day 14 |
Secretory phase | follows ovulation-day 15-26, influenced by progesterone, ^ uterine vascularity, myometrial glandular secretions |
Ischemic phase | day 27-28, if fertilization does not occur, ischemic phase begins->corpus luteum begins to degenerate, estrogen and progesterone levels hair, areas of necrosis under endometrial lining |
For Reproduction | necessary hormones and secretions->stimulate and support reproduction |
Estrogen | scrtd by ovaries,cntrls dvlpmt 2ndry sex charactcs,mature of ovar foll,endomet mucosa prolif following menses,uterus^in sz/wt, prdcd by maturing foll,^myomet cntractil in uterus/fallop tubes,^uterine senstvty to oxy, inhbts FSH prod,stim LH prod,drops aft |
Progesterone | pregnancy hormone |
Progesterone is/does | secreted by corpus luteum, decreases uterine motility and contractility, facilitates vaginal epithelium proliferation, secretion of thick viscous cervical mucus, ^breast glandular tissue for breastfeeding |
Prostaglandins | produced by uterine endometrium, regulatory effects, ^during follicular maturation, cause extrusion of ovum from Graafian follicle, ^during labor |
Contraception | voluntary prevention of pregnancy |
NFP and FAM | natural family planning and fertility awareness methods |
NFP and FAM involve | relies on avoidance of intercourse during fertile periods, charting, basal body temp, cervical mucus ovulation, calendar |
Fertility Awareness | at ovulation mucus elasticity ^, viscosity decreases, stretch 8-10cm as ovulation approaches-abstain from sex peak day of wetness/clear |
Basal Body Temp | preovulatory-temp below 36.7, then rise, postovulation-progesterone^ 0.5-1.0, release of ovum 24-36 hours before 1st temp elevation, most fertile 3-4 days prior & 2-3 days after ovulation |
Calendar Method/Rhythm Method | least reliable fertility awareness method, based of assumptions that ovulation occurs 14 days before menses, sperm viable 48-72hrs, ovum 24hrs, fertile phase-18 days before end of shortest cycle thru 11 days from end of longest cycle |
Spermicides | chemical barriers, minimal effectiveness used alone |
Barrier Methods | protective against STIs, condoms, vaginal sheath, diaphragm, cervical cap, contraceptive sponge |
Hormonal Methods | alters hormones in body, estrogen and progestin or progestin alone, highly effective, combined oral contraceptives, minipill, depo-provera |
COC disadvantages | ^blood clots, contraindicated; smokers, cardio disorders, thromboembolic disease, notify HCP of ACHES |
ACHES | abd pain, chest pain, h/a, eye disturbance, severe leg pain |
Oral progestin(minipill) | use if contraindication to estrogen, hx of thrombophlebitis, breastfeeding, thickens cervical mucosa |
Depo-Provera | long-acting progestin, suppress ovulation 3 months, blocks LH surge, thicken cervical mucus, single inj 150mg IM, delayed return of fertility, SE; h/a, weight gain, breast tenderness, depression, breakthrough bleeding |
Emergency Contraception | Preven/Plan B, use w/in 72hrs of unprotected intercourse, decreases pregnancy by 80% |

Moment of Fertilization | when nuclei unite, sperm penetration causes chem reaction blocks more sperm penetration, chromosomes pair up to produce diploid zygote |
