    It is the implantation in the uterus that causes the release of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone of pregnancy.

    199

    It may also prevent an egg from being fertilized or prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.

    200

    It may follow a diminished functional activity, as in the atrophying thymus gland' and in the muscle cells of the uterus after parturition.

    201

    It may here be stated that the non-striped muscular tissue of the bladder, the uterus and the spleen is also stimulated, as well as that of the iris (see below).

    202

    It seems that malformed uterus and especially septate uterus is not an infertility factor in itself.

    203

    Its combined action on the bowel and the uterus is of especial value in chlorosis, of which amenorrhoea is an almost constant symptom.

    207

    Its more pointed lower end iš attached to the uterus by the ligament of the ovary, while its anterior border has a short reflection of peritoneum, known as the mesovarium, running forward to the broad ligament of the uterus.

    208

    Just at the junction of the "bell" and the uterus there is a second small opening situated dorsally.

    209

    Large submucosal uterine fibroids may increase the size of the uterus ' cavity.

    210

    Larger uterus later in pregnancy leading to weight and size issues.

    211

    Later on in pregnancy, most women have to urinate more often than normal because the uterus is putting pressure on the bladder.

    212

    Like implantation cramping and the pain of the uterus expanding, round ligament pain is a normal part of pregnancy.

    213

    Localities at such altitudes not being, as a rule, suitable for larval life in the water, the young are retained in the uterus, until the completion of the metamorphosis.

    214

    Macrosomia. Babies of mothers with uncontrolled diabetes are at risk of growing too large while still in the uterus.

    215

    Malformations of the pelvis, accidental injuries and the diseases and displacements to which the uterus is liable, on the one hand; and, on the other, various morbid conditions of the ovum or placenta leading to the death of the foetus, are among the direct local causes.

    216

    Many women, but by no means all, experience implantation bleeding, which is the passing of a small amount of blood when the fertilized egg embeds itself in the lining of the uterus.

    217

    Maternal age is also a factor (adolescent mothers are prone to have undersize babies), as is uterine constraint (which occurs when the uterus is too small for the baby).

    218

    Meanwhile, your uterus is getting ready to nourish a baby.

    219

    Metal coil implants are carried in a catheter through the uterus and into the fallopian tubes, where they are placed.

    Mini pills come in 28-day packs and work by thinning the uterus lining and thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the released monthly egg.

    221

    Mirena is a type of intrauterine device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

    222

    Most pregnancies associated with the use of an IUD occur because the IUD may have accidently gotten dislodged or expelled from the uterus.

    223

    Near the ovary the tubes are closed, but nearer the Fal lopian tube they open into another tube which is nearly at right angles to them, and which runs toward the uterus, though in the human subject is generally lost before reaching that organ.

    224

    Nearer the uterus than the ep08phoron a few scattered tubules are occasionally found which are looked upon as the homologue of the organ of Giraldbs in the male, and are known as the paroophoron.

    225

    No reputable historian would accept the idea that educating a woman sucks all the blood from her uterus, or that masturbation causes insanity.

    226

    Of great practical importance is the fact that the cornutine causes rhythmic contractions such as naturally occur, whilst the sphacelinic acid produces a tonic contraction of the uterus, which is unnatural and highly inimical to the life of the foetus.

    227

    Often, early in a pregnancy, if the condition of the baby and/or the mother's uterus are not compatible with sustaining life, the pregnancy stops, and the contents of the uterus are expelled.

    228

    On Baboosh, the website itself explains that wearing a wrap is thought to reduce the size of the uterus and reduce water retention in the belly, all the while helping the wearer to lose inches fast!

    229

    On making a mesial vertical section of the uterus the cavity is seen as a mere slit which is bent about its middle to form an angle the opening of which is forward.

    230

    On the day of insemination, the sperm is injected into the uterus using a small catheter.

    231

    239

    Ovulation is the process in which the female egg travels to the uterus where it can be fertilized by sperm.

    240

    Ovulation is when an egg is released and sent to the uterus each month.

    241

    Ovulation occurs midway between menstrual cycles and is the process when the egg leaves the fallopian tube and travels to the uterus to get fertilized by the male's sperm.

    242

    Owing to the fact that the neck of the uterus enters the vagina from in front, the anterior wall of that tube is only about 21 in., while the posterior is 31.

    243

    Oxytocin A hormone, produced by the pituitary gland, which stimulates contraction of the uterus.

    Oxytocin secretion is also nature's way of causing a woman's uterus to contract after birth to control postpartum bleeding and assist in uterine involution.

    245

    Oxytocin-A hormone that stimulates the uterus to contract during child birth and the breasts to release milk.

    246

    Passive immunity is relatively short lived and is acquired by transferring antibodies from mother to child in the uterus or by inoculation with serum that contains antibodies from immune persons or animals.

    247

    Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is infection or inflammation in the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes.

    248

    Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)-Any infection of the lower female reproductive tract (vagina and cervix) that spreads to the upper female reproductive tract (uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries).

    249

    Perhaps the most valuable of all the medicinal applications of turpentine, and one which is rarely, if ever, mentioned in therapeutic textbooks - owing to the fact that gynaecology has been so extremely specialized - is in inoperable cancer of the uterus.

    250

    Perinatal infections include bacterial or viral illnesses that can be passed from a mother to her baby either while the baby is still in the uterus or during the delivery process.

    251

    255

    Progestin is synthetic form of progesterone, a natural hormone that helps prepare a woman's uterus for pregnancy.

    256

    Prostaglandins are natural substances made by cells in the inner lining of the uterus and other parts of the body.

    257

    Right after removal from the uterus, you may experience significant bleeding.

    258

    Saponins, the active ingredient, increase blood flow, and it is thought that increased blood flow to the uterus may spark contractions.

    259

    Sciatica during pregnancy is most likely due to the heaviness of the uterus and baby pressing on the sciatic nerve.

    260

    Segmentation takes place during its passage down the uterus.

    261

    She also checks for tenderness or changes in the uterus.

    263

    She had protested the morality of AI until she lost her uterus, finally giving in to surrogacy a few years ago.

    264

    She may have been dripping from her uterus as she evacuated, and this would appear as if the blood came from her stool.

    265

    Since it doesn't allow your uterus to build much of a lining, there is less to shed at the end of your cycle.

    266

    Since the egg can no longer reach the uterus, the chances of it being fertilized are very slim.

    267

    Since the egg is unable to travel down the fallopian tubes, they can't make their way to the uterus and they can't get fertilized.

    268

    Since the implants consist of tissue from the uterus that undergoes monthly changes based on the menstrual cycle, the implants go through the same types of change.

    269

    Since there is no room for the fetus to grow other than in the uterus, organ damage can occur.

    270

    Small surgical openings are made in the uterus, and a tiny fiber optic fetoscope is inserted to guide the operation.

    271

    Some women may also experience heavy bleeding, blood clots, perforation of the uterus, or damage to the cervix.

    272

    Some women, even if the woman no longer has a uterus.

    273

    Sometimes females die trying to deliver that last litter from an overworked uterus.

    274

    Soon after quitting the uterus it is joined by a long duct leading from a glandular sac, the spermatheca (Rf).

    275

    Sperm can live in the uterus for up to three days and if the device is removed, the egg may become fertilized.

    276

    Sperm survive in the uterus for a few days and only one is needed to fertilize the egg if ovulation occurs a day or two after sex.

    277

    Spermatozoa are not found in the uterus and oviducts, and it appears probable, as we have said, that they reach the ovary directly by boring through the skin and traversing the body cavity.

    278

    Subsequent children of a mother who has undergone fetal surgery usually are delivered by cesarean section because of scarring of the uterus.

    279

    Syphilis can also be acquired in the uterus during pregnancy.

    Terbutaline is used to relax the uterus.

    281

    The abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus.

    282

    The accessory generative glands are the two vesiculae seminales, with the median third vesicle, or uterus masculinus, lying between them, the single bilobed prostate, and a pair of globular Cowper's glands.

    283

    The Australasian species come nearest to laying eggs, inasmuch as the eggs are large, full of yolk, and enclosed in a shell; but development normally takes place in the uterus, though abnormally, incompletely developed eggs are extruded.

    284

    The benefit of bed rest is that it results in increased blood flow to the uterus.

    285

    The birth control works like a tubal ligation in that the fallopian tubes are blocked to prevent the egg from traveling into the uterus.

    286

    The C-section is a surgical procedure that involves removing the baby from the uterus through the lower abdomen.

    287

    The cardiac form of parvo is usually transmitted to unborn pups via the uterus of an infected mother.

    288

    The cervix is the entrance to your uterus and the exit for your baby.

    289

    The cervix separates the body and cavity of the uterus from the vagina.

    290

    The chief difference between the reproductive organs of the two classes is the presence in Cestodes of a separate vagina and uterus, each of which opens in some families to the exterior by an independent pore.

    291

    The condom is a barrier that prevents sperm from entering a woman's uterus.

    292

    The connective tissue in the intestines, arteries, uterus, and other hollow organs may be unusually weak, leading to organ or blood vessel rupture.

    293

    The copper is gradually released into the uterus, immobilizing sperm and blocking implantation of fertilized eggs.

    294

    The deep breathing during exercise brings more oxygen to the blood, which relaxes the uterus.

    295

    The division of the fertilized egg in this case occurs nine to 13 days past fertilization or near the time of implantation in the uterus.

    296

    The doctor uses a speculum to open the vagina and he or she places a tube into the uterus that releases dye into the fallopian tubes.

    297

    The dome covers the opening to the uterus and prevents sperm from entering through the cervix and traveling up to meet the egg.

    298

    The ductus arteriosus should be present and open before birth while the fetus is developing in the uterus.

    299

    The early scans had shown two separate placentas - one each side of the uterus.

    300

    The egg enters the uterus during ovulation but it begins to disintegrate about 24 hours later.

    301

    The egg gives rise in the uterus to a six-hooked embryo, which reaches the first host in a variety of ways.

    302

    The egg makes its way into a fallopian tube, a structure that guides the egg away from the ovary toward the uterus.

    303

    The egg survives in the uterus for about 24 hours and many couples may try to conceive right after ovulation.

    304

    The egg then travels down the fallopian tube, and into the uterus where it attaches and grows.

    305

    The egg, which normally travels through the fallopian tube, is unable to enter the uterus during ovulation because of the obstruction.

    306

    The embryo passes through three stages - (I) still enclosed within the egg and living on its own yolk; (2) free, within the vitelline mass, which is directly swallowed by the mouth; (3) there is no more vitelline mass, but the embryo is possessed of long external gills, which serve for an exchange of nutritive fluid through the maternal uterus, these gills functioning in the same way as the chorionic villi of the mammalian egg.

    307

    The embryos are later implanted into the uterus via IVF.

    308

    The embryos in the uterus are all nearly of the same age, except for a month or two before birth, when two broods overlap.

    309

    The enlarged uterus also puts more pressure on the veins.

    310

    The estrogen prepares the uterus walls for implantation and also changes the consistency of the mucous in the cervix.

    311

    The exact mechanism of this type of contraception is not completely understood, although the placement in the uterus causes inflammation, which may be the reason that IUDs work.

    312

    The fallopian tubes carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.

    313

    The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries to the uterus.

    314

    The Fallopian tubes receive the ova and carry them to the uterus.

    315

    The fertilized ova, provided with yolk and a shell, are next transferred to the "uterus" along which they travel to the exterior.

    316

    The fetus is upside down in the uterus, and the head will dilate the cervix (or vaginal opening) and lead the way during the birth process.

    317

    The fetus must be moved away from the placenta, the disk-shaped organ within the uterus that provides the blood supply to the fetus.

    318

    The force of the contractions can be measured with an intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC), which is a catheter that can be placed through the cervix into the uterus to measure uterine pressure during labor.

    319

    The goal of each method is to prevent the egg from reaching the uterus by creating a break or barrier in the fallopian tubes.

    320

    The goal of the procedure is to prevent the egg from traveling out of the ovary, through the fallopian tube, and into the uterus.

    321

    The group of diving cells begins to move along the fallopian tube toward the uterus.

    322

    The hormone changes the environment of the uterus; sperm is unable to enter the cervix and a fertilized egg cannot implant in the uterine wall.

    323

    The implants grow, break down, and bleed like the tissue in the uterus.

    324

    The important actions of ergot are on the blood-vessels and the uterus.

    325

    The infection affects the reproductive tract and causes pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy (when the fertilized egg implants somewhere other than in the uterus).

    326

    The insertion procedure can cause damage to the uterus, but this IUD complication rarely occurs.

    327

    The internal structures of the reproductive tract, including the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes, are normal.

    328

    The IUD can also injure the uterus by poking into or through the uterine wall.

    329

    The IUPC also provides an accurate measurement of the resting tone of the uterus.

    330

    The lining of your uterus, called the endometrium, is becoming thicker.

    331

    The main role of these hormones is to cause thickening of the lining of the uterus (endometrium).

    332

    The male sperm has to travel through the mucus of the cervix, up through the uterus and into the fallopian tubes to meet the egg.

    333

    The Mirena can stay in the uterus for up to 5 years before it should be removed or replaced with a new one by your physician.

    334

    The most common lower uterine segment incision is a transverse incision because the lower segment is the thinnest part of the pregnant uterus and involves less blood loss.

    335

    The most common place for an egg to implant other than the uterus is the fallopian tubes.

    336

    The most frequent reason for cramping in early pregnancy is uterus expansion, but a few other causes exist.

    337

    The mother is given medication to relax the uterus, minimize discomfort, and prevent premature contractions.

    338

    The mother reclines with a slight pelvic tilt to prevent compression of the large blood vessels by the pregnant uterus.

    339

    The muscles below your uterus are also adapting and stretching beyond their usual size.

    340

    The only clear diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy is seeing the embryo implanted in the fallopian tube or some other area outside the uterus.

    341

    The paired ovaries discharge their products into a median coelemic chamber with lateral branches (C), often called the uterus, from which the ripe ova are discharged by a median dorsal pore into the terminal region of the rectum (cloaca).

    342

    The parts of the body involved in the menstrual cycle include the uterus and cervix, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the brain and pituitary gland, and the vagina.

    343

    The physician uses a catheter to move the embryos through the cervix and into the uterus for development.

    344

    The physician will do a complete physical exam and take a complete prenatal and birth history of the child, including position in the uterus.

    345

    The placenta is attached to the wall of the uterus and leads to the unborn baby via the umbilical cord.

    346

    The placenta is removed from the mother and her uterus is closed with suture.

    347

    The plug protects the uterus and the baby from infection.

    348

    The pregnant uterus can press on the venous drainage from the legs and so increase the risk of a DVT.

    349

    The problem starts very early in the uterus with a narrowed pulmonary valve and a hole between the ventricles.

    350

    The procedure involves a long slim needle being passed through the abdomen of the pregnant woman to the uterus where amniotic fluid is carefully drawn from the amniotic sac.

    351

    The procedure is often used in women who have had a previous c-section, but if the incision on the uterus is not vertical, the woman can try a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).

    352

    The prognosis for a successful vaginal birth after a cesarean (VBAC) may be at least 75 percent, especially when the c-section involved a low transverse incision in the uterus, and there were no complications during or after delivery.

    353

    The purpose of these contractions is to prepare your uterus and cervix for the work ahead, but they precede true labor contractions.

    354

    The round ligament is a cord of unstriped muscle which runs from the lateral angle of its own side of the uterus forward to the internal abdominal ring, and so through the inguinal canal to the upper part of the labium majus.

    355

    The sensor on the tocodynanometer must be placed on that part of the uterus that can be palpated easily.

    356

    The skin incision for a c-section is either transverse (Pfannenstiel) or vertical and does not indicate the type of incision made into the uterus.

    357

    The small opening among the fimbriae by which the tube communicates with the peritoneal cavity is known as the ostium abdominale, and from this the lumen of the tube runs from four to four and a half inches, until it opens into the cavity of the uterus by an extremely small opening.

    358

    The sperm cannot reach the egg, and the egg cannot travel to the uterus.

    359

    The surgeon may knead and push on the uterus to move or flip the fetus.

    360

    The tissue responds to menstrual cycles just as it would if it were located in the uterus, which means that it sheds each month, causing pain and bleeding that can interfere with fertility.

    361

    The two small, grape-shaped organs inside the abdomen on either side of the uterus, known as the ovaries, are filled with hundreds of thousands of eggs and are the organs that allow pregnancy to occur.

    362

    The ultrasound may need to be done by inserting the ultrasound probe into the vagina, because that gives the best view of the uterus and fallopian tubes.

    363

    The upper half or body of the uterus is somewhat triangular with its base upward, and has an anterior surface which is moderately flat, and a posterior convex.

    364

    The upper, wide opening of the duct is attached by elastic, peritoneal lamellae to the hinder margin of the left lung; the middle portion of the duct is glandular and thick-walled, for the deposition of the albumen; it is connected by a short, constricted " isthmus " (where the shell-membrane is formed) with a dilated " uterus " in which the egg receives its calcareous shell and eventual pigmentation.

    365

    The uterine contractions get stronger, and the infant passes along the vagina helped by contractions of the uterus and the mother's pushing.

    366

    The uterus (X in figure C) begins in all cases at the shell gland (c, d) and may exhibit a swelling (R S) for the retention of the spermatozoa..

    367

    The uterus always contains several young, which are usually at different stages of development and are born at different times of the year.

    368

    The Uterus and Broad Ligament seen from behind (the broad ligament has been spread out).

    369

    The uterus appears to contain embryos of different ages.

    370

    The uterus is bicornuate.

    371

    The uterus is designed to enlarge as the baby grows.

    372

    The uterus is repositioned in the mother's body cavity and her abdominal wall is closed.

    373

    The uterus is two-horned, with the cornua opening separately into the vagina or uniting to form a corpus uteri.

    374

    The uterus may be double, each division opening by a separate os uteri into a common vagina, as in Leporsdae, Sciuridae, and Hydrochoerus, or two-horned, as in most species.

    375

    The uterus or womb is a pear-shaped, very thick-walled, muscular bag, lying in the pelvis between the bladder and rectum.

    376

    The vagina is a dilatable muscular passage, lined with mucous membrane, which leads from the uterus to the external generative organs; its direction is, from the uterus, downward and forward, and its anterior and posterior walls are in contact, so that in a horizontal section it appears as a transverse slit.

    377

    The vagina of Cestodes is undoubtedly comparable with the so-called " uterus " of Trematodes, but the nature of the Cestode uterus is not so clear.

    378

    The vast majority of the mammalia are provided with an organ in the uterus, by which, before the birth of their young, a vascular connexion is maintained between the embryo and the parent animal.

    379

    The villi establish a physical connection with the wall of the uterus and eventually develop into the placenta.

    380

    The worm inhabits the lung of the frog and toad, and is hermaphrodite (Schneider) or parthenogenetic (Leuckart); the embryos hatched from the eggs find their way through the lungs into the alimentary canal and thence to the exterior; in a few days they develop into a sexual larva, called a Rhabditiform larva, in which the sexes are distinct; the eggs remain within the uterus, and the young when hatched break through its walls and live free in the perivisceral cavity of the mother, devouring the organs of the body until only the outer cuticle is left; this eventually breaks and sets free the young, which are without teeth, and have therefore lost the typical Rhabditis form.

    381

    The young (which, as in other marsupials, leave the uterus in an extremely small and imperfect condition) are placed in the pouch as soon as they are born; and to this they resort temporarily for shelter for some time after they are able to run, jump and feed upon the herbage which forms the nourishment of the parent.

    382

    The zygote, the name for the sperm and egg once they have come together, will then make its way down to the uterus.

    383

    Then the fertilized egg must travel to the woman's uterus (womb), where it lodges in the uterus lining and develops into a fetus.

    384

    Then the internal pelvic organs such as the uterus and ovaries are palpated (touched while applying gentle pressure) to detect abnormal masses.

    385

    Then, he/she uses it to push small metallic coils through the uterus and up into the fallopian tubes.

    386

    There are tests and treatments, however, that can be performed on the fetus while still in the uterus that can reduce the risk of anemia or other complications.

    387

    There is a risk of miscarriage, pre-term birth, or ectopic pregnancy if you have the intrauterine device placed in the uterus at the time of implantation.

    388

    There is also a question as to whether the condition may change the environment of the uterus so that a fertile egg is unable to implant.

    389

    There may be structural abnormalities in the uterus, cervix, or vagina that prevent the shed tissue from leaving the body.

    390

    These hormones have effects on the ovaries, uterus, and on the testes in man.

    391

    These ovarian hormones encourage the growth of the endometrium, which is the tissue that lines the uterus.

    392

    These slender, T-shaped appliances are implanted on the uterus.

    393

    These unfertilized eggs develop directly, often in the uterus.

    They also increase the number of leucocytes in the blood, and the more irritating of them increase the flow of blood to the pelvic organs, and may thus stimulate the uterus, or in large doses cause abortion.

    395

    They are typically used with a spermicide, and they should be fitted after the uterus has reached its pre-pregnancy size.

    396

    They frequently occur in the uterus and are generally left alone unless growing rapidly or causing other problems.

    397

    They may also have some implantation bleeding from when the embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus.

    398

    They may also prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus.

    399

    They may reduce prior to delivery causing the uterus to contract.

    400

    They stop ovulation and cause changes in the uterus so that if an egg is released, it's difficult for a sperm to fertilize it.

    401

    This challenge indicates that the ovaries and uterus are functioning normally, and the cause of the amenorrhea is probably in the brain.

    402

    This contrast to the situation in mammals, where the developing fetus receives a continuous external supply of nutrients from the mother 's uterus.

    This contrast to the situation in mammals, where the developing fetus receives a continuous external supply of nutrients from the mother's uterus.

    404

    This could be due to the stretching of the opening of the uterus or the fact that birth improves the uterine blood supply and muscle activity.

    405

    This device is inserted into your uterus by your physician and must be removed after five years; you can also have the IUD removed at any time before that if so desired.

    406

    This involves using a long, thin catheter to insert sperm directly into the uterus.

    407

    This is a very serious condition when the fetus implants into the fallopian tubes or ovaries rather than the uterus.

    408

    This is because the babies are in competition for nutrients and room in the uterus is limited.

    409

    This is often accompanied by the mucus plug, which is a thick piece of tissue that sits at the bottom of the uterus, blocking the baby from the birth canal.

    410

    This may happen if you have a small or unusual shaped uterus, a fibroid or low-lying placenta.

    411

    This opening in a uterus which has never been pregnant is a narrow transverse slit, rarely a circular aperture, but in those uteri in which pregnancy has occurred the slit is much wider and its lips are thickened and gaping and often scarred.

    412

    This prevents the thickening of the lining of the uterus.

    413

    This sample is obtained by inserting a needle through the abdomen into the uterus and withdrawing fluid.

    414

    This still prevents the egg from getting to the uterus, but is easier to reverse if the woman changes her mind later about wanting children.

    415

    This type of intrauterine contraception contains a hormone, like progestin, that is released into the uterus.

    416

    This, too, can cause bleeding, and is a very serious condition as a fetus outside the uterus has little to no chance to survive.

    417

    Those made in the uterus make the uterine muscles contract and help the uterus to shed the lining that has built up during the menstrual cycle.

    418

    Throughout most of pregnancy the developing fetus is completely free to move around within the uterus.

    419

    Thus more blood enters the uterus via the arteries than can be carried away by the veins.

    420

    Tubal pregnancies are caused in instances where something blocks the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.

    421

    Two major locations of uterine incisions are the lower uterine segment and the upper segment of the body of the uterus (classical incision).

    422

    Ultrasound can locate a uterus behind the bladder and can determine if there is a cervix or uterine canal.

    423

    Unfortunately, the body considers the uterus to be a non-essential organ.

    424

    Usually it takes five days for the blastocyst to travel through the fallopian tubes and into the uterus where it implants in the lining of the uterus around the sixth day.

    425

    Uteroplacental insufficiency-Designates the lack of blood flow from the uterus to the placenta, resulting in decreased nourishment and oxygen to the fetus.

    426

    Vaginal bleeding may occur because the uterus is moved during the surgery.

    427

    Very early in pregnancy, vaginal bleeding can be caused by the fertilized egg nesting into the lining of the uterus.

    428

    Virtually every pregnant woman experiences some pain as the uterus expands.

    429

    We had to remove the uterus — but you still have your ovaries.

    430

    431

    What would be different this time was the fact that he couldn't deny the babies were his - that and the fact that this time she had no uterus to lose.

    432

    When a fertilized egg implants itself into the blood lining of the uterus, some women experience mild cramping.

    433

    When an egg is fertilized, it travels through the fallopian tubes where it implants into the uterus.

    434

    When the cervix is fully dilated, a long plastic tube connected to a suction device is inserted into the uterus to remove the fetus and placenta.

    435

    When the egg is released it travels through one of the two fallopian tubes and down towards the uterus.

    436

    When the man ejaculates inside the woman's vagina, his sperm swim up into her uterus and fallopian tubes.

    437

    When tubes are cut but remain their original size, the ends can reattach over time, making it possible for an egg to make it down to the uterus where it can be fertilized.

    438

    When using the test-tube method to overcome infertility one or more eggs are inserted into the woman 's uterus.

    439

    When your uterus contracts, it cuts off the oxygen supply to your placenta.

    440

    When your uterus gets infected, your body temperature goes up, putting the baby at risk.

    441

    While a normal pregnancy involves an embryo implanted inside the uterus and growing into a fetus there, pregnancies outside of the uterus are always miscarried, due to insufficient space for the baby to grow.

    442

    While the baby is still inside the mother's uterus, oxygen and nutrients are transferred from the mother's blood to the baby's through the placenta.

    443

    While the estrogen/progesterone pill actually prevents ovulation, the progesterone-only pill changes the environment inside the uterus, making it considerably more difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg.

    444

    With all of these variables, it is difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg and, if it does, the egg most likely will not implant in the uterus.

    445

    With most devices, a small string does protrude from the cervix (the opening to the uterus) but it can't be seen from outside.

    446

    With the initiation of labor, the muscular wall of the uterus begins to contract causing the cervix to open (dilatation) and thin out (efface).

    447

    With this method, a needle is inserted through the mother's abdomen and uterus and into the baby's abdomen.

    448

    Without hormones, a normal, healthy woman will release an egg once a month, and her uterus will build up a thick, blood-rich lining to receive the egg in case it gets fertilized by a man's sperm.

    449

    Women beaten during pregnancy can suffer life-threatening ruptures of the uterus, liver and spleen.

    450

    Women who experience a solitary incident of endometrial tissue growth outside of the uterus are in stage one of endometriosis.

    451

    Women who have never been pregnant appear to have a higher chance that the device will be expelled from the uterus.

    452

    Women with mild endometriosis may have several small lesions or adhesions and a few growths outside the uterus.

    453

    You may feel cramps when the embryo implants in the uterus, and they can continue intermittently as your uterus expands.

    You may notice vaginal secretions that are slippery and colorless right before the egg enters the uterus.

    455

    You will experience what appears to be a heavy period as the uterus expels its contents.

    456

    Your doctor may recommend an oral contraceptive that contains progesterone so the lining of the uterus becomes thinner.
