Lesson Objectives
Recap and consolidate understanding of the reproductive hormones
Understand what ‘infertility’ is and be aware of causes, tests and treatments for infertility.
![Page 26: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Controlling Fertility
There are two ways in which knowledge of the menstrual cycle can help to control fertility:
ContraceptionConception
![Page 27: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Contraception
![Page 28: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Contraceptive Pill
Combined Pill = Oestrogen and Progesterone
Mini Pill = Progesterone only
![Page 29: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The combined pill
Taken for 21 days followed by 7 pill free daysDuring the 7 pill free days the woman will experience a ‘period’.Taken every day at same time (give or take 12 hours)The oestrogen and progesterone disrupt the normal hormonal cycleNo egg is released.
![Page 30: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Progesterone only pill
The progesterone will disrupt the normal hormonal cycle so that ovulation doesn’t occur.
Taken every day at the same time (give or take 2 hours)
No break from pills so woman won’t experience a period.
![Page 31: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ovulation / Conception
Once a couple decide they would like a baby they must make sure they have intercourse near the day when the woman is ovulating.
Having intercourse at the right time of the month will help the woman conceive.
How do you think they might work this out?
![Page 32: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Pregnancy Testing
What is the first sign that a woman might be pregnant?
How would they confirm this? HCG testing
![Page 33: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
An egg is fertilised (so becomes a zygote) The egg moves down the fallopian tube The egg ‘implants’ in the uterus lining.
This is implantation. The new blastocyst / embryo produces a
hormone called HCG = Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
![Page 34: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Blastocyst
![Page 36: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Group Task
In small groups, discuss the following:
What is infertility?What might cause it?What might happen if somebody finds they are infertile?
![Page 37: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Infertility
There are many reasons why a couple may have trouble conceiving.
Doctors usually wont do anything unless the couple have been trying to conceive for more than 12 months.
What do you think might help a couple conceive faster?
![Page 38: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Tracking things like body temperature, cervical fluid and menstrual days can help a woman work out when she is going to be most fertile.
She could also carry out an ovulation test. This works a bit like a pregnancy test but indicates the presence of LH instead of HCG.
Why LH?
![Page 40: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What might cause infertility in women?
Hormonal disruptions STIs Physical Problems (blockages etc)
![Page 41: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What might cause Infertility in Females?
Hormonal disruptions If a woman isn’t producing enough of a
particular hormone then various problems may occur. Like what?
An ovum may not be released The endometrium might not build up
properly so the embryo can’t implant.
![Page 42: Assignment 4: The Human Reproductive System Lesson 3: Hormones & Fertility.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697c00f1a28abf838cca7a8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Task:
For each female reproductive hormone, write down the consequences of not having enough of it.
Oestrogen Progesterone LH FSH

Problems with Sperm Male fertility tests often start with a semen
analysis. This will look at: Semen volume Total sperm number Sperm concentration Vitality of sperm Motility of sperm https://
