Why is it common for adolescents to have [anovulation f/b irregular heavy menstruation], especially around menarche? (4)
▩a1. Menses normally occurs when corpus lutem(a byproduct after ovulation) produces 🄿rogesterone and when this 🄿 drops –> [Menses shedding].
▩a2. immaturity of [hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis(common around menarche)] –> inadequate GnRH –> low FSH (although enough to stimulate 🅴strogen secretion) and low LH⭐( →anovulation)⭐
▩a3. NO ovulation –> No [corpus luteum🄿rogesterone] to (rise and fall) → [NO menses shedding]
▩a4. [NO menses shedding] io\ unopposed [EMT 🅴 “enlargement”] .. ➜ accumulated EMT (eventually) ➜ breakthrough bleeding = ⭐irregular heavy menstruation⭐

In pregnancy, βhCG is initially secreted by ⬜ at ⬜(when?) and
βhCG is responsible for what 3 things?
syncytiotrophoblast ; [8 days after fertilization]
1. βhCG preserves corpus luteum(which secretes progesterone during early pregnancy until placenta takes over)
2. (because βhCG shares same α subunit as TSH)[βhCG stimulates maternal thyroid(→ ⇪ TOTAL T4/T3 secretion)]
3. βhCG promotes male sex differentiation
