Week 1
<pubmed>25101180</pubmed>
The article above verifies that women who suffer from moderate to serve asthma with no treatment have a substantial impact on the time taken to get pregnant (TTP) and hence fertility. Some women who had allergies were also tested however women with asthma had more of an impact on the time taken to get pregnant. Asthmatics who were getting treated didn't have a long TTP than those who had no treatment.
It is believed that the nature and extent of the inflammation which distinguishes asthma is important since nonatopic asthma, untreated asthma and moderate to critical asthma had the largest consequence on fertility that amplified the TTP. Further research is need to describe this issue in more detail however some assumptions were made in tho article that can direct these future projects.
It was assumed that women with asthma may have the same inflammation and increased inflammatory cells in the uterus or fallopian tube. It is believed that asthma comprises the production of mucosal surface, other than the bronchi. An additional supposition made was that asthma in the lower airway of the lungs can concurrently originate inflammation in the mucosa in the uterus because of systemic reaction.
Therefore asthma if not treated properly or treated at all can have a negative impact on fertility since the TTP is increased with asthmatic women.

The article above addressed the following issue; Vitamin D may play a role in human reproduction. It can be drawn from this experiment that vitamin D can indeed be a constituent in escalating the possibility of vitro fertilization (IVF) and in turn giving rise to clinical pregnancy.
In Toronto April 2011, this experimentation on the impact of Vitamin D on vitro fertilization included 173 women undergoing IVF. These women had their vitamin D /serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (serum 25(OH)D “samples collected before the oocyte was retrieved”(pg; E78). It was from here two classifications were made “sufficient” vitamin D if they owned more than or equal to 75nmol/L or “insufficient” if they possessed less than 75nmol/L of vitamin D. The oocyte was reclaimed at about 36-38 hours trailing an injection of Gonadotrophin. Also “ultrasound guided fresh embryo transfer was performed on day 3-5 after fertilization.” (pg;E78)
The outcome was for a successful clinical pregnancy, which was determined by the intrauterine sac being visible on an ultrasound. In turn the results were consistent in that the women who had sufficient 25(OH)D levels were found to have higher clinical pregnancy rate per IVF, per embryo transfer and implantation rate than those with insufficient 25(OH)D. Therefore the experiment proved that 25(OH)D does have an important role in clinical pregnancy.
