uterine cycle - ANSWER >> changes the endometrium to prepare for fertilization in response to hormonal changes (lining sheds if fertilization does not occur) proliferative, secretory, ischemic, menstrual phases ovarian cycle: follicular phase (w/ proliferative phase) - ANSWER >> follicles in ovary grow and form mature egg start with release of GnRH and FSH (days 1-14) ovulation surge time frame - ANSWER >> 10 - 12 hr lifespan of mature egg - ANSWER >> 24 hr ovarian cycle: ovulation phase - ANSWER >> when mature follicle ruptures and releases mature egg/oocyte LH hormone (day 14) ovarian cycle: luteal phase - ANSWER >> when ovulation occurs and corpus luteum forms (from oocyte, produces progesterone increasing vascularity), from ovulation until menstruation (day 15-28)
D) progesterone secretion peaks - ANSWER >> B) endometrium thickens proliferative phase is the first phase of the uterine cycle the predominant anterior pituitary hormone that orchestrates the menstrual cycle includes: A) thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) B) corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) C) follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) D) gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - ANSWER >> C) FSH which hormone is produced in high levels to prepare the endometrium for implantation just after ovulation by the corpus luteum? A) estrogen B) prostaglandin C) prolactin D) progesterone - ANSWER >> D) progesterone occurs during secretory phase (uterine cycle 2nd phase) behavioral contraception: fertility awareness method- cervical mucus ovulation method - ANSWER >> dry
phase (not fertile): 1-3 days after period, dry or hint of moisture sticky phase (not fertile): day 4-6, white/cloudy sticky globs creamy phase (semi fertile): day 7-9, creamy/cloudy thick clear phase (fertility magic!): day 10-14, like raw egg white, stretchy and slippery behavioral contraception: fertility awareness method- standard days/calendar method - ANSWER >> days 8- 19 is fertility window behavioral contraception: fertility awareness method- basal body temperature - ANSWER >> sharp decline in temperature then spike back up= ovulation (3 day period) behavioral contraception: fertility awareness method - ANSWER >> requires commitment and a regular cycle (must understand when fertile days are to avoid having sex), would work for those who cannot take hormones 25% failure rate barrier contraception: male and female condoms - ANSWER >> only contraception that provides protection against STIs failure rate: 18% (m) and 21% (f) - latex free increases failure rate

what if a pill is missed? missed two pills on week 3 OR 3+ pills - ANSWER >> restart the BC pack use a backup contraceptive method for 7 days hormonal contraception: transdermal patch (E+P) - ANSWER >> place on lower ab/upper outer arm/butt/upper torso (except breast) apply on the same day once a week for 3 weeks, then patch free week (period week) change site when patch is reapplied weight limit: <198 lbs NOT for those w sensitive skin or athletes 9% failure rate hormonal contraception: vaginal ring (E+P) - ANSWER >> inserted for 3 weeks and removed for ring free week (period) 9% failure rate hormonal contraception: injectable (P ONLY) - ANSWER >> given during first 5 days of period cycle injection received every 11-13 weeks 6% failure rate
warnings of potential complications of IUC - ANSWER >> PAINS period late, pregnancy, abnormal spotting/bleeding abdominal pain, pain w sex infection exposure, abnormal vaginal discharge not feeling well, fever, chill string length shorter/longer/missing (possible dislodgement) emergency contraception - ANSWER >> NOT A REGULAR BC METHOD use within 72 hr of unprotected sex DOES NOT induce abortion (if you are already pregnant, will not prevent) SE- N/V (from increased hormones), delayed menses (if none for 3 weeks check for pregnancy) 80% failure rate permanent contraception: vasectomy - ANSWER >> cutting the vas deferens short procedure under local anesthesia sexual function not impaired does not provide immediate contraception- 8 - 16 weeks (check 2 semen analyses to confirm) <1% failure rate
permanent contraception: bilateral tubal ligation - ANSWER >> cutting/blocking the fallopian tubes can be done immediately after childbirth or by a laparoscopic procedure risk for ectopic pregnancy sexual function unaffected <1% failure rate chlamydia trachomatis - ANSWER >> most common bacterial STI curable with antibiotics if untreated can result in PID/ectopic pregnancy/infertility (bc it causes tube swelling) often asymptomatic diagnosed by urine test/vaginal swab test for cure with pregnancy neisseria gonorrhoeae - ANSWER >> 2nd most common STI curable with antibiotic increased risk for PID/infertility/ectopic pregnancy/HIV often asymptomatic linked with chorioamnionitis (inf in placenta), PTL, PROM, postpartum endometritis
