Fertilization and pregnancy. Medical search. Frequent questions

Traditionally, doctors have measured pregnancy from a number of convenient points, including the day of last menstruation, ovulation, fertilization, implantation and chemical detection. (wikipedia.org)
An interesting consequence is that the dating of pregnancy measured this way begins two weeks before ovulation. (wikipedia.org)
There are ovulation strips to help pinpoint the optimal time for getting it on, and then, of course, there are the pregnancy tests (assuming you may need more than one). (slice.ca)
But blood tests can detect pregnancy earlier than a home pregnancy test, about 7-10 days after ovulation. (webmd.com)
The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of serum estradiol levels on the day of ovulation trigger on pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ICSI cycles. (ijrcog.org)
Learn about the egg's release during ovulation, the sperm's journey, fertilization, implantation in the uterus from Dr. Paula Amato, MD. (familyeducation.com)
However, the sperm can survive in the vagina and the uterus for 3 to 5 days, meaning there is a window of around 6 days in which fertilization can take place (an egg lives 12 to 24 hours after ovulation). (familyeducation.com)
No ovulation means there's no egg hanging around for sperm to fertilize, so pregnancy can't happen. (plannedparenthood.org)
After ovulation, the hormone progesterone rises which helps prepare your uterus for pregnancy . (clevelandclinic.org)
The absolute risk of ectopic pregnancy is likely to be low, as levonorgestrel prevents ovulation and fertilisation. (who.int)

Whether conception refers to fertilization or implantation would seemingly even impact "established pregnancies" such as an ectopic pregnancy. (wikipedia.org)
Your doctor may use them along with other tests to rule out an ectopic pregnancy when the fertilized egg implants outside your uterus, or after a miscarriage when hCG levels fall quickly. (webmd.com)
Ectopic pregnancy. (cdc.gov)
Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous condition that must receive prompt medical treatment. (cdc.gov)
If pregnancy occurs after treatment with levonorgestrel, the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy should be considered. (who.int)
Ectopic pregnancy may continue, despite the occurrence of uterine bleeding. (who.int)
Therefore, levonorgestrel is not recommended for women who are at risk of ectopic pregnancy (previous history of salpingitis or of ectopic pregnancy). (who.int)
The standard medical treatment for unruptured ectopic pregnancy is methotrexate therapy. (medscape.com)
To minimize bleeding, a dilute solution containing 20 U of vasopressin in 20 mL of isotonic sodium chloride solution may be injected into the mesosalpinx just below the ectopic pregnancy. (medscape.com)
Farquhar CM. Ectopic pregnancy. (medscape.com)

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is a technique used to identify chromosomal genetic abnormalities in embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) before pregnancy. (medscape.com)
Preimplantation genetic testing is an umbrella term that refers to the assessment of embryos prior to implantation or pregnancy. (medscape.com)
Because only unaffected embryos are transferred to the uterus for implantation, PGT is the only method available for screening embryos before pregnancy and provides an alternative to current post conception diagnostic procedures (ie, amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling), which are frequently followed by the difficult decision of determining the pregnancy's disposition. (medscape.com)
Only healthy and normal embryos are transferred into the mother's uterus, thus diminishing invasive prenatal diagnoses, late pregnancy termination, or the birth of a child with a serious genetic disease. (medscape.com)
However, once the embryos were transferred there was no difference between the groups in regards to pregnancy rate (36% vs. 34%), proportion of women who had a miscarriage (16% vs. 22%) and live birth rates (30% of treated hypothyroid vs. 27% of the controls). (thyroid.org)
In vitro fertilization allows us to control risks for multiple pregnancy by replacing a "reasonable" number of embryos into the uterus. (advancedfertility.com)
INTRODUCTION: It is known that Assisted Reproductive Techniques are associated with potential risks, mainly related to multiple pregnancies, which are around 20 to 25% due to ovarian stimulation associated with high number of embryos transferred. (usp.br)
Then the embryos are either frozen or put into the uterus to start a pregnancy. (medlineplus.gov)
The main advantage is that fewer embryos may be transferred to eliminate the possibility of multiple pregnancies, while maintaining a high pregnancy rate. (ucsfhealth.org)
After fertilization, the embryos grow in a lab for approximately one week. (nyp.org)

A pregnancy in which the fertilized egg implants in a location outside of the uterus-usually in the fallopian tube, the ovary, or the abdominal cavity. (cdc.gov)
A week after fertilization the blastocyst secretes a hormone which helps it to burrow its way into the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. (miriamstoppard.com)
It's only the first step in a path to childbirth that requires multiple surgeries, including the transplant operation and removal of the transplanted uterus after one or two successful pregnancies. (crosswalk.com)
And if the woman's body begins rejecting the transplanted uterus during a pregnancy, doctors would either have to remove the uterus or increase medications, both with dire consequences for the baby. (crosswalk.com)
Pregnancy results when the embryo implants in the lining of the uterus. (nyp.org)
Changes the environment of the uterus and fallopian tubes to prevent fertilization and to prevent implantation if fertilization occurs. (stlukesonline.org)
Within 5 minutes, sperm may move from the vagina, through the cervix into the uterus, and to the funnel-shaped end of a fallopian tube-the usual site of fertilization. (msdmanuals.com)
If fertilization does not occur, the egg moves down the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it degenerates, and passes through the uterus with the next menstrual period. (msdmanuals.com)
The blastocyst implants in the wall of the uterus about 6 days after fertilization. (msdmanuals.com)
About 6 days after fertilization, the blastocyst attaches to the lining of the uterus, usually near the top. (msdmanuals.com)

Caesarean section defects may affect pregnancy outcomes after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer: a retrospective study. (bvsalud.org)
Only a few studies have assessed the relationship between the previous mode of delivery and in vitro fertilization / intracytoplasmic sperm injection - embryo transfer (IVF/ ICSI -ET) reproductive outcomes. (bvsalud.org)
In vitro fertilization outcomes in treated hypothyroidism. (thyroid.org)
Data was recorded in a computer database and analyzed with respect to number of follicles of various sizes (on the day of HCG), peak estradiol levels and outcomes of pregnancy, as well as single, twin, and triplet or higher order pregnancy. (advancedfertility.com)
There is conflicting evidence with regards to the impact of supraphysiologic estradiol levels in in-vitro fertilisation-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) cycles on pregnancy outcomes such as oocyte quality, implantation, and clinical pregnancy. (ijrcog.org)
F. Vural, B. Vural, and Y. Çakıroğlu, "The role of overweight and obesity in in vitro fertilization outcomes of poor ovarian responders," BioMed Research International , vol. 2015, Article ID 781543, 5 pages, 2015. (hindawi.com)

STUDY QUESTION: Do environmental exposures, diet and lifestyle factors impact reproductive and pregnancy outcomes among subfertile couples attending a fertility clinic? (cdc.gov)
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Accumulating epidemiologic evidence has shown associations of environmental chemicals and nutritional factors with reproductive and pregnancy outcomes. (cdc.gov)
STUDY DESIGN SIZE, DURATION: The Environment and Reproductive Health (EARTH) Study is an ongoing prospective preconception cohort designed to investigate the impact of environmental, nutritional and lifestyle factors in both women and men on fertility and pregnancy outcomes. (cdc.gov)
LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION: While the fertility clinic setting provides the opportunity to measure environmental exposures, diet and lifestyle factors across different windows of vulnerability and to evaluate their potential effect on critical early fertility, pregnancy and delivery outcomes, the findings may be less generalizable to naturally conceived pregnancies. (cdc.gov)

Generally speaking, some ideological and religious commentaries have argued that pregnancy should be stated as beginning at the first, exact moment of conception in which a human sperm makes full contact with an egg cell. (wikipedia.org)
The American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines "pregnancy" as "from conception until birth. (wikipedia.org)
Definitions like this may add to a lay person's confusion, as "conception" in a scientific context may be defined as fertilization, in a medical context can mean either fertilization or implantation but in lay terms may mean both. (wikipedia.org)
If conception is defined as at implantation, ectopic pregnancies could not be called pregnancies. (wikipedia.org)
However, some medical professionals who oppose birth control, such as Walter Larimore of the Focus on the Family group, have argued that the medical definition of conception should include fertilization. (wikipedia.org)
What is 'cloudy' or confusing about defining 'conception' as 'the time when the sperm penetrates the egg and fertilization takes place? (khanacademy.org)

In-vitro fertilization occurs outside the body. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Controversy over the beginning of pregnancy occurs in different contexts, particularly as it is discussed within the debate of abortion in the United States. (wikipedia.org)
In contrast, other commentaries have argued that the duration of pregnancy begins at some other point, such as when the fertilization process ends (when a new, independent cell genetically distinct from the prior egg and sperm exists) or when implantation occurs (when the new set of cells lodges itself against the uterine wall, allowing it to grow rapidly). (wikipedia.org)
