- Would ISCI be an option? Why or why not? Jan, a 32-year-old woman, and her husband, Darryl, have been married for 7 years. They have attempted to have a baby on several occasions. Five years ago, they had a first-trimester miscarriage, followed by an ectopic pregnancy later the same year. Jan continued to see her OB/GYN physician for infertility problems but was very dissatisfied with the response. After four miscarriages, she went to see a fertility specialist, who diagnosed her with severe endometriosis and polycystic ovarian disease (detected by hormone studies). The infertility physician explained that these two conditions were hampering her ability to become pregnant and thus making her infertile. She referred Jan to a genetic counselor. At the appointment, the counselor explained to Jan that one form of endometriosis (MIM 131200) can be a genetic disorder, and that polycystic ovarian disease can also be a genetic disorder (MIM 184700) and is one of the most common reproductive disorders among women. The counselor recommended that a detailed family history of both Jan and Darryl would help establish whether Jans problems have a genetic component and whether any of her potential daughters would be at risk for one or both of these disorders. In the meantime, Jan is taking hormones, and she and Darryl are considering alternative modes of reproduction. Using the information in Figure 16.4, explain the reproductive options that are open to Jan and Darryl.arrow_forwardShould fertility clinics be required to disclose all the risks of ART to couples seeking fertility treatments?

Method of Contraception Example Pros Cons Natural Hormonal Barrier Permanent The debate on contraception is based on arguments emerging from the traditional and bioethical positions on contraception.

- Some couple practice natural family planning (also known as the rhythm method of birth control), which involves abstaining from sexual intercourse during the time that a woman can become pregnant in her menstrual cycle. The egg only survives in the fallopian tube from 24 hours after ovulation, so conception can only happen during a 24-hour period each month. However, this form of contraceptive is very unreliable and is not recommended for couples who are actively trying to avoid pregnancy. Which of the following is NOT a reason why this form of birth control is unreliable? A. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for 3 to 5 days. B. Ovulation can be affected by stress or illness. C. Women always ovulate on the same day of their menstrual cycle every month. D. It is difficult to predict exactly when in her cycle a woman ovulates.arrow_forwardBased on the two given images what do you see and what do you notice?arrow_forwardwhy are condoms effective for birth controllarrow_forward
