We present the results obtained on 110 menstrual cycles of 87 patients; echography study of ovulation, immunologic LH determination, basal body register card and serial cervical mucus score, since -6 to 0 day. Echography study determined follicular diameter, endometrial bulk and the presence of liquid in the cul-de-sac. We considered only those patients in whom the disappearance of the follicle was observed 24 hours before; being this fact, the indicator of ovulation, related to all other variables. These patients presented spontaneous (47.3%), epimestrol (28.2%) or clomiphene induced (24.5%) cycles, and they turned out to be pregnant or not in that cycle, (34.6%, 25.8% and 37.0% respectively). It was 36 (32.7%) pregnant women in all the The three follicular diameter curves for pregnant cycles, were similar being the preovulatory follicular range 21.5 mm for spontaneous cycles, 18.9 mm for epimestrol induced cycles and 20.7 mm for clomiphene induced cycles. Conceptional range was from 15 to 22 mms, 15 to 22 mm, and 14 to 27 mms, respectively. We didn't observe free fluid in cul-de-sac in 5 pregnant cycles (13.9%). Most of positive LH, are about -2 and -1 (21% and 50%, respectively). There were one pregnant patient and 2 no pregnant patient with repetitive, negative LH. In 50% of patients who became pregnant, the Nadir was on -1 day. In spontaneous conceptional group, bad cervical score was not observed. The good cervical score period is longer on conceptional group than in those with epimestrol. On conceptional group, dissociation between best score day and the day of ovulations was not observed, fact that we observed in non-conceptional group.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D010060 Ovulation The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY. Ovulations
D010061 Ovulation Detection Method to determine the occurrence of OVULATION by direct or indirect means. Indirect methods examine the effects of PROGESTERONE on cervical mucus (CERVIX MUCUS), or basal body temperature. Direct ovulation detection, generally used in fertility treatment, involves analyses of circulating hormones in blood and ULTRASONOGRAPHY.
