- Artificial Control of Fertility
- Oral Contraceptive(pill)
- Controls fertility
- The pill contains female hormones (oestrogen) which effects ovaries which prevents egg release. The pill inhibits FSH production so eggs are not allowed to mature. So woman cannot be preg.
- Anyone who takes the pill must take it on a regular basis as the levels of artificial hormone will drop and body hormones can quickly take over.
- Some families cannot have children as they may have a lack of female hormones. luckily artificial FSH can be used as a fertility treatment
- It stimulates egg in ovary to mature and also stimulates oestrogen production.
- IVF Treatments
- Conception takes place in fallopian tube.
- A tube between ovary and womb which egg travels along.
- If fallopian tubes are damaged, eggs cannot reach womb so women cannot become naturally preg.
- Doctors can collect ovaries from mother and sperm from father and fertilise them outside the body.
- Fertilised egg becomes a tiny embryo which are inserted into womb of mother which allows them to bypass faulty tubes.
- During IVF, A mother is given FSH to make sure as many eggs as possible mature. LH is given at the end of the cycle to make sure eggs are released.
