Biology of Fertility Control

What You Should Know Infertility treatments and contraception are based on the biology of fertility. Risks and ethics associated with fertility treatments. Fertile periods. Cyclical fertility in females leading to a fertile period. Continuous fertility in males. Calculation of fertile periods and their use. Treatments for infertility. Ovulation stimulated by drugs that prevent the negative feedback effect of oestrogen on FSH secretion. Artificial insemination. Several samples of semen are collected over a period of time. If a partner is sterile a donor may be used. Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). If mature sperm are defective or very low in number ICSI can be used — the head of the sperm is drawn into a needle and injected directly into the egg to achieve fertilisation. In vitro fertilisation (IVF). Surgical removal of eggs from ovaries after hormone stimulation. Incubation of zygotes and uterine implantation. Pre-implantation genetic screening to identify genetic disorders and chromosome abnormalities

The Biology of Controlling Fertility Infertility treatments and contraception are based on the biology of fertility. Fertility Males are continuously fertile Female fertility is cyclical

Infertility in Females Estimate 30-40% of Scots have fertility problems Failure to ovulate due to -hormonal imbalance -stress Blocked oviducts -Infections (STI’s) -Fibroids -Spasms Implantation failure -Hormonal imbalance

Infertility in Males Low sperm count (<20 million sperm / ml), abnormal sperm, low motility Hormonal problems due to -Stress -Poor diet -Smoking, alcohol, drugs

Treatments for Infertility Fertility drugs which stimulate ovulation Artificial insemination Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI ) In vitro fertilisation (IVF)

Female Fertility Drugs Failure to ovulate can be treated with drugs that mimic FSH and LH Stimulate follicle development & ovulation Drugs can also be given to prevent negative feedback effect of oestrogen Stimulates production of more FSH Several Graafian follicles develop When drug is stopped, LH is released Ovulation occurs These drugs can cause super ovulation resulting in multiple births or the production of many eggs for IVF

Artificial Insemination

The average sperm count in men is 20 to 150 million per millilitre of semen Low sperm count classified as fewer than 20 million sperm per millilitre of semen Artificial insemination is used to treat problems with sperm count Sperm are placed inside the uterus, near an oviduct using a catheter If male is sterile sperm from a donor can be used

IVF Treatment

IVF Hormonal treatment stimulates development of multiple follicles Scan to confirm follicles are mature Eggs removed using a hollow needle

Sperm collected and “best” selected Sperm & eggs combined in a dish containing nutrient medium Fertilised eggs incubated until they have formed at least 8 cells Healthiest embryos selected

More hormonal treatment (progesterone) Scan to check thickness of endometrium Maximum of 2 embryos transferred via thin catheter to uterus for implantation

ICSI

Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). If mature sperm are defective or very low in number ICSI can be used the head of the sperm is drawn into a needle and injected directly into the egg to achieve fertilisation.

Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) Pre-implantation genetic screening to identify genetic disorders and chromosome abnormalities.

Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis to identify a known chromosomal or gene defect

Risks and Ethics Associated with Fertility Treatments In groups discuss the risks and ethics of fertility treatments Include pros and cons of fertility treatment Produce a short summary of your discussion

Contraception

What You Should Know Contraception — physical and chemical methods of contraception Biological basis of physical methods. Chemical contraceptives are based on combinations of synthetic hormones that mimic negative feedback preventing the release of FSH/LH.

Contraception is the intentional prevention of conception or pregnancy by natural or artificial means

Physical Methods of Contraception Barrier methods use a device to physically block the sperm from reaching the ova Intra uterine devices (IUD) Condom Diaphragm Cervical cap Sterilisation procedures

Chemical Contraception Hormonal methods Combinations of synthetic hormones Mimic negative feedback by preventing release of FSH/LH Some prevent implantation (‘morning-after pills’) some cause thickening of cervical mucus (‘progesterone- only pill’).
