Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E, F
The custom of taking on symptoms of pregnancy and childbirth by the man is called couvade. The symptoms may appear around the third month or at delivery and may include nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, weight gain, food cravings, fatigue, and mood swings. There are many different theories that identify possible reasons for this condition; these include sympathy and identification with the pregnant woman, being left out, feeling guilty about putting the woman in this condition, or the stress of living in such an unpredictable situation.

Answer to Question 2

B
If implantation, fertilization, or pregnancy does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, resulting in menses. Increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) occurs in phase 2 and is responsible for ovulation. Estrogen levels rise during the second phase and progesterone levels increase following the surge of LH during phase 3 in preparation for implantation of the fertilized egg.
