Assisted reproductive technology

In week 14 of pregnancy, the woman feels much more relaxed and happy, since the bothersome symptoms of the beginning of pregnancy disappear and the risk of spontaneous abortion decreases considerably. The 14-week fetus has already acquired a more human appearance and future parents will be able to see their face and all body parts on an ultrasound. In addition, in this week begins the second trimester of pregnancy. Therefore, it is the ideal time to share the news of pregnancy with family and friends, if you have not done it yet.

Natural pregnancy with teratozoospermia can be complicated and, in the most severe cases, it is practically impossible for fertilization and subsequent development of the embryo to take place. Men with infertility due to teratozoospermia will have to resort to assisted reproduction techniques to be able to be parents. The appropriate fertility treatment will depend on many factors, not just the degree of abnormalities in the sperm. The rest of the seminal parameters, as well as the age and health status of the woman, are also limiting when it comes to getting the pregnant woman.

Artificial insemination (AI) is an assisted reproduction technique of low price and little complexity. However, it is not always possible to achieve pregnancy, since it is necessary to fulfill a series of requirements. For this reason, many wonder when it is recommended to do artificial insemination.

Teratozoospermia or teratospermia refers to the bad morphology of sperm in the ejaculated semen. This sperm alteration is a cause of male infertility , since the abnormal sperm are not able to fertilize the ovum or, if they do, they can cause problems in the development of the embryo. Teratozoospermia does not present any associated symptoms that the male can recognize. Therefore, in order to identify this seminal alteration, it is necessary to analyze sperm in an andrology laboratory through a semengram .

A biochemical pregnancy is defined as the early interruption of embryonic development and subsequent lowering of menstruation . It is also known as biochemical abortion or microabortion. In all cases the sperm gets to fertilize the egg, the embryo is formed and develops until day 6, at which time the embryo implantation takes place in the uterus. It is then that the hormone beta-hCG ( human chorionic gonadotropin ) begins to be synthesized and quantified in a pregnancy test. For this reason, the test is positive even if there is no evolutionary pregnancy. Biochemical abortion can occur after a natural pregnancy or after in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) treatment. In both cases, the symptoms of the microabortion are the same. Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article. Index 1. Biochemical pregnancy after an IVF 2.

In the 36th week of pregnancy, the baby already measures around 46 cm in length, with a weight that can reach 2.8 kg. You will notice that his movements are reduced for a simple reason: he has little space left.

Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It will have different symptoms depending on the degree of severity of the pathology and the place of appearance of the tissue. For example, if it appears in the ovary (ovarian endometriosis), it causes ovarian cysts (endometriomas). Its effects on female fertility, the difficulty in achieving natural pregnancy and the chances of success with in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) treatments will also depend on the type of endometriosis in question.

Teratoma is a tumor of embryonic origin formed by several cell types. They usually appear in the ovaries of the woman, although it is also possible to find them in males or children in the testicles or diverse locations. The teratoma is formed by tissues or components of organs that come from the 3 germinal layers of the embryo, which are the endoderm, the mesoderm and the ectoderm. For this reason, it is possible that the teratoma contains several types of tissues, such as hair, teeth, bones, cartilage, etc., giving a "monster" aspect to this type of tumor.

It has long been known that the bacterial population that inhabits the human body plays an essential role in certain processes, both in healthy people and in certain diseases. For example, the intestinal microbiota is essential for digestion. Thanks to the advance of new technologies in the field of genomics (study of genetic information), it has been possible to study these microorganisms more thoroughly and this has made it possible to discover that the microbiome is involved in such complex pathologies as obesity or diabetes. Knowing how the microflora influences fertility is one of the new challenges that currently exist in the field of assisted reproduction , since it can help improve the results of these treatments.
