What is the hormone that makes the cervical mucus viscous?

Progesterone is the hormone that makes cervical mucus viscous, thick, and sticky, making it difficult for sperm to swim through the cervix. This helps prevent fertilization during certain times in a woman's menstrual cycle.


How does hormone implants prevent the ovary releasing eggs?

Hormone implants, such as those containing progestin, prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs primarily by inhibiting ovulation. They do this by altering hormone levels in the body, specifically by suppressing the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which is crucial for triggering ovulation. Additionally, these implants thicken cervical mucus and thin the uterine lining, further reducing the likelihood of fertilization and implantation.


What type of cervical mucus moves the x chromosome faster than the y chromosome?

The type of cervical mucus that can facilitate the faster movement of the X chromosome compared to the Y chromosome is typically more alkaline and abundant, often observed around ovulation. This fertile cervical mucus provides a more favorable environment for X-bearing sperm, which are believed to be more resilient and survive longer than Y-bearing sperm. The consistency of this mucus allows for easier passage of X sperm, potentially increasing the likelihood of conceiving a female child.
