    Study Notes

    Implantation

    • Implantation, also known as nidation, is the process of a blastocyst attaching to the uterine wall.
    • It occurs between days 6 and 11 after fertilization.
    • The normal implantation site is the upper segment of the uterus, near the fundus, on the posterior wall.
    • This process is considered interstitial or deep implantation.
    • Heart man sign refers to bleeding during implantation.
    • Implantation's primary function is to provide nutrition to the embryo.
    • The implantation process is completed in four key steps: apposition, adhesion, penetration, and invasion (AAPI).
    • The endometrium is known as decidua.
    • Progesterone is the hormone responsible for the development of decidua.
    • Implementation begins in the compact layer of the endometrium.
    • Implantation is complete when the embryo is fully embedded in the decidua basalis.
    • The placental sign explains the fusion and disappearance of the decidua parietalis and capsularis due to the development of the placenta.

    Phases of the Menstrual Cycle

    • The menstrual cycle has four phases: pre-menstrual, post-menstrual, pre-ovulation, and post-ovulation.
    • Hormonal levels fluctuate throughout the cycle, with low levels during the pre-menstrual phase and high levels during the post-menstrual phase.
    • The pre-ovulation phase is the most variable in length, while the post-ovulation phase is the most stable.

    Ovulation

    • Ovulation typically occurs on day 14 of a 28-day cycle, though it can vary.
    • To calculate the predicted ovulation day, subtract 14 days from the total cycle length.

    Mittelschmerz

    • Mittelschmerz, or ovulation pain, can occur due to the rise in progesterone levels after ovulation.
    • This pain is often described as a sharp, stabbing sensation on one side of the lower abdomen.

    Firm Test

    • The Firm Test is a medical procedure used to diagnose ovulation and amniotic fluid leakage.
    • The test involves assessing the characteristics of cervical mucus.
