What can cause infertility? Unexplained-18% Female Male • • • Ovulation disorders Tube/uterus blockage Cervix Endometriosis Other • Sperm count and defects • Erectile or ejaculation deficiency Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic, Environmental
More detail on female infertility • Ovulatory failure-polycystic ovarian syndrome (high androgen/estrogenlevels), resistant ovarian syndrome, gonadal dysgenesis • Impaired gamete/zygote transport-pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis • Implantation defects-progesterone low • Spontaneous abortion-chromosome abnormality
More detail on male infertility • Cryptorchidism-Why? • Chromosome disorders-gonadal dysgenesis • Obstructions • Gonadotropin deficiency Result in: Low sperm count, sperm of poor quality
Female Infertility Tests • For ovulation • Basal body temperature • Ovulation kit (LH surge) • Other hormone tests (steroids) • Post ovulatory block • Laparoscopy-fiber optic look • Hysterosalpingogram-dye • Post-coital /cervical mucous and sperm • Sperm antibodies • Endometrial biopsy
Sperm good for 2 -3 days, egg for 2
Can find adhesions, structural abnormality, etc
Hysterosalpingogram Blocked tubes
Male Infertility Tests • Sperm count/motility – > 20 million sperm/ml – Check motility and morphology • >50% motile • >30% structurally normal • If low check LH androgen levels • Testicular biopsy
Sperm Count
Older, low tech treatments • Drug treatment for ovulation block • Intrauterine insemination • Tubal surgery High tech Assisted Reproduction Technologies • IVF-in vitro fert and embryo transfer • GIFT-gamete intrafallopian tube transfer • ZIFT-zygote intrafallopian tube transfer • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection
frozen eggs/ ovary transplant; cloned human embryo
First test-tube baby
Assisted Reproductive Technology • Estimate 1/100 births now • Around 40, 000/year • Costs between $7, 000 to 15, 000 per attempt
IVF In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer
Basic Steps in IVF • Ovary stimulation • Egg retrieval • Sperm retrieval-wash sperm • Fertilization • Embryo transfer • Progesterone
Start with more than 1 egg Drugs used for ovary stimulation • Clomiphene (clomid)-anti-estrogen • h. MG (pergonal)-menopausal gonadotropin (FSH and LH) • FSH-(metrodin) • Gn. RH agonists (lupron)-FSH/LH first promoted, then inhibited • h. CG-acts like LH In a single cycle, could take clomid, pergonal, h. CG shot, then progesterone
Why transfer more than one embryo? • Increase the pregnancy rate • Leads to increased risk of multiple pregnancies • In future- Test embryos before transfer s. HLA-G measure of embryo health
Egg retrieval, vaginal, with ultrasound
Modifications if tube not blocked Gametes mixed for GIFT
GIFT
If fertilization needs help-transfer zygote ZIFT
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection
ICSI
Additional twists • Surrogacy – Gestational – Egg donor plus gestational – Egg donor plus sperm donor plus gestational • • Frozen embryos Egg donors Frozen eggs Cloning

From The Baby Business by Debora Spar
Risks of ART? • To woman – Overstimulation of ovary syndrome – Multiple pregnancies – Risk of ovarian cancer (clomid, pergonal) • To baby – ICSI associated with problems (XYY)
Discussion questions-what treatment(s) would you select given the following: • • Male with low sperm count 30 year-old female not ovulating 40 year-old female not ovulating Undiagnosed infertility
