Path to Pregnancy
Pregnancy is the result of a chain of events. Because of the intricate series of events required to accomplish a pregnancy. Every month the pituitary gland in a woman's brain sends a signal to her ovaries to prepare an egg for ovulation. The pituitary hormones — follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) — are involved in a delicate interaction with the ovaries to bring an egg to the point of ovulation. A large boost in LH carries a message to the ovarian follicle to release its egg (ovulate). The time of ovulation — is around day 14 of menstrual cycle — although ovulation varies among women with different lengths of menstrual cycles. The egg is then captured by the fallopian tube and is viable for about 24 hours after ovulation. For pregnancy to occur, a sperm must unite with the egg in the fallopian tube within this time. Sperm are viable for up to 72 hours and must be present in the fallopian tube at the same time as the egg for conception to occur. When sperm and egg meet in the fallopian tube fertilization occurs. The egg is covered by a protective shell called the zona pellucida. Many thousands of sperm attach to the outside of the zona pellucida but only one ultimately enters. If fertilized, the egg moves into the uterus 2 to 4 days later. The new cell is called an embryo. There it attaches to the uterine lining (endometrium)
About Infertility
Infertility is usually defined as not being able to get pregnant despite trying for one year. This is called Primary Infertility. A broader view of infertility includes not being able to carry a pregnancy to term, with recurrent miscarriages and inability to conceive after one or more successful pregnancies is called Secondary Infertility. In India it is estimated that approximately between 15-20% of all couples of fertile age suffer from infertility. This figure is on the increase because of increased urbanization and pollution, stress, a competitive work environment and a hectic and fast placed lifestyle. Infertility related problems could strike anyone rich or poor, educated or illiterate. It is a myth that infertility is always a "woman's problem." In fact study shows that
* 40% are related to the women
