Question

Does exogenous FSH have any affect on Uterine capacity? If not what effects levels of Uterine capacity?

Answer 1

The term “uterine capacity” focuses attention on the uterus, but in fact, uterine capacity is a combination of the ability of the uterus to provide nutrients, the ability of the placenta to transfer nutrients to the fetus, and the ability of the fetus to efficiently use those nutrients for growth and development.

Follicle-stimulating hormone is one of the hormones essential to pubertal development and the function of women's ovaries and men's testes. In women, this hormone stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary before the release of an egg from one follicle at ovulation. It also increases oestradiol production.

Progesterone is responsible for making the uterine muscle more contractile, while estrogen causes it to relax.
