Understanding Reproductive Immunology – Immune Balance & Fertility
Reproductive immunology has been a recognised field for over 40 years, with robust scientific contributions featured in journals such as the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology and driven by international organisations including the European and American Societies for Reproductive Immunology.
Exploring Fertility Options
Embarking on the journey to become a single parent through fertility treatment encompasses a range of emotional, medical, and practical considerations. This guide, tailored for prospective solo parents, outlines the essential steps and options available for those choosing to start a family through assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
All About Progesterone
Progesterone is a steroid hormone, classified within the progestogen family, synthesised from cholesterol. Its production is primarily regulated by luteinising hormone (LH), which surges at mid-cycle, prompting ovulation. Progesterone serves as a critical signalling molecule in reproductive physiology, preparing the endometrium for implantation and sustaining pregnancy should fertilisation occur.
The Microbiome in Human Reproduction
The human reproductive microbiome plays a crucial role in assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes. The vaginal microbiome, dominated by Lactobacillus species, supports sperm viability and embryo implantation by maintaining an acidic pH and protecting against pathogens. Similarly, the endometrial microbiome, also dominated by Lactobacillus, is essential for successful implantation. Dysbiosis in these microbiomes can lead to inflammation, infection, and implantation failure. The seminal microbiome influences sperm quality and reproductive outcomes. Advanced diagnostic tools like 16S rRNA sequencing and personalized treatments with probiotics and antibiotics are enhancing ART success rates.
Fertility and Age
The human reproductive system is responsible for producing the cells needed for reproduction (called gametes), enabling fertilisation, and supporting the growth of new life. While everyone’s reproductive systems aim for reproduction, they function differently in terms of structure and how they change over time. This article explores the reproductive processes in people assigned male or female at birth, focusing on how gametes are produced, how hormones regulate these processes, how fertilization and pregnancy happen, and how fertility naturally declines with age.
Male Fertility
It is widely known that one in six couples will face infertility at some point in their lives. What is less commonly recognised is that in about 30 percent of those cases, the issue lies solely with the man. Another 30 percent are attributed to the woman, and the remaining 40 percent involve a combination of both partners. Despite male factors being a significant part of the equation, is the patient experience—and the support offered—truly equal for men and women?
