In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that can help couples who are having difficulty becoming pregnant due to blocked Fallopian tubes, low sperm count, low sperm motility, or sperm that cannot penetrate the outer layer of an egg, among other conditions. Normally, an ovary produces one mature ovum per 28-day cycle. In order to ensure a successful IVF procedure, doctors try to retrieve a large number of mature eggs. In order to obtain a greater than normal number of mature eggs, doctors inject the IVF candidate with a drug such as Bravellissima, which stimulates multiple follicle development. They also administer a drug such as Centrotic, which suppresses ovulation to prevent earlier than anticipated ovulation of mature ova. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the naturally occurring hormones that the IVF drugs are imitating? Select one: a. Bravellissima Centrotic FSH Estrogen b. Bravellissima Centrotic Progesterone LH c. Bravellissima Centrotic Estrogen FSH d. Bravellissima Centrotic LH Progesterone e. Bravellissima Centrotic GnRH FSH

Question
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that can help couples who are having difficulty becoming pregnant due to blocked Fallopian tubes, low sperm count, low sperm motility, or sperm that cannot penetrate the outer layer of an egg, among other conditions.

Normally, an ovary produces one mature ovum per 28-day cycle. In order to ensure a successful IVF procedure, doctors try to retrieve a large number of mature eggs.

In order to obtain a greater than normal number of mature eggs, doctors inject the IVF candidate with a drug such as Bravellissima, which stimulates multiple follicle development. They also administer a drug such as Centrotic, which suppresses ovulation to prevent earlier than anticipated ovulation of mature ova.

Which of the following rows correctly identifies the naturally occurring hormones that the IVF drugs are imitating?
Select one:
a.
Bravellissima Centrotic
FSH Estrogen
b.
Bravellissima Centrotic
Progesterone LH
c.
Bravellissima Centrotic
Estrogen FSH
d.
Bravellissima Centrotic
LH Progesterone
e.
Bravellissima Centrotic
GnRH FSH
