Which one of the following is the most likely reason of not occurring regular menstruation cycle in females? 

  • Fertilisation of the ovum

  • maintenance of the hypertrophical endometrial lining

  • Maintenance of high concentration of sex hormones in the blood stream

  • Maintenance of high concentration of sex hormones in the blood stream


A.

Fertilisation of the ovum

If fertilisation occurs and the foetus is implanted in the endometrium the trophoblast cells of the developing placenta secrete a hormone human chorionic Gonadotrophic (hCG). This hormone-like LH maintains the corpus luteum and the secretion of progesterone and estradiol by it. These two hormones check the breakdown of the endometrium of the uterus. The absence of menstrual bleeding is the earilest sign of pregnancy.
