Triploidy
Triploidy is a biological phenomenon which occurs when a organism has three copies of its genetic material instead of two. It often affects human embryos and can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, and other birth defects and developmental problems. Triploidy can be diagnosed through amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, or preimplantation genetic testing, and it is important to diagnose this condition in order to provide proper medical advice and treatment for affected individuals. It is also important for genetic counselors to provide information on the risk of triploidy to prospective parents.

Women have hormonal cycles which determine when they can achieve pregnancy. The cycle is approximately twenty-eight days long, with a fertile period of five days per cycle, but can deviate greatly from this norm. Men are fertile continuously, but their sperm quality is affected by their health, frequency of ejaculation, and environmental factors.
