Description: Ans. is c i.e. 20 - 22 days ENDOMETRIAL BIOPSY OPD procedure for hormonal evaluation in case of infeility / DUB/TB. Usually performed in pre - menstrual phase from lateral wall of vagina. Interpretation : Presence of secretory endometrium Progesterone phase (cycles has been ovulatory) Presence of proliferative endometrium Anovulatory cycle Luteal phase defect can also be diagnosed by endometrial biopsy (which shows a lag of 2 - 3 days between calendar and histological dating of specimen). Endometrial biopsy is contraindicated in suspected malignancy / sepsis. 130 Test Time Observation TESTS FOR DOCUMENTING OVULATION Basal Body Temp Cervical mucus Vaginal cytology Endometrial Biopsy Serum Progesterone Follicular Monitoring Laparoscopy Through out cycle Day 12 - 14 Day 21 - 23 Day 12 - 14 Day 21 - 23 Premenstrual phaseD8 and D21 D10 - D14 Secretory phase Biphasic pattern Cervical mucus is clear watery, stretchability present, ferning present. Cervical mucus is thick, viscid, tack present ferning absent. Estrogen dominated smears - clear. discrete corn-fined, polygonal, superficial cells (predominant cells) Progesterone dominated smear -containing diy, predominantly intermediate (Navicular) cells. Secretory Endometrium (Confirming ovulation) D - 8 < 1 ng/ml D - 21 > 6.5 ng/m1 Follicle is measured by USG. Recent corpus luteum is directly seen PAT TESTS FOR TUBAL ENCY : (Or for any Tubal Pathology) : viz Insufflation test HSG Sono hystero salpingography Fallopscopy (Mid follicular phase) Day 6 - Day 11 (not performed later so that if pregnancy has occurred & zygote formed it is not disrupted & not earlier when the patient is menstruating as retrograde menstruation can cause endometriosis) TEST FOR CERVICAL FACTOR : viz Post coital test Immunological tests Done just before ovulation (as cervical mucus is most Miller kurzrok test receptive for sperm at that time).
