33 infertile women with normal ovulatory cycles were investigated for the presence of a Luteinized Unruptured Follicle Syndrome (L.U.F.) using steroid hormone assays in peritoneal fluid and laparoscopic visualization of ovulation stigmata. We failed to identify a stigma in 36% (12) of the patients in the early luteal phase, 1 subject had a cystic corpus luteum and in 4 cases no diagnosis was made due to the presence of adhesions. The mean hormone concentrations in PF were significantly higher when the stigma was present (17-beta-estradiol, P less than 0,05; progesterone, P less than 0,01; 17-oh-progesterone, P less than 0,05). The two groups (with and without ovulation stigmata) showed no differences in plasma levels of Estradiol (E2) and Progesterone (P). Stigmata were detected only in 17% of subjects with concomitant endometriosis. 3 patients with a luteal phase defect showed low levels of steroids in PF in spite of the presence of an ovulation stigma.

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.

D010535 Laparoscopy A procedure in which a laparoscope (LAPAROSCOPES) is inserted through a small incision near the navel to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. If appropriate, biopsy or surgery can be performed during laparoscopy.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D004958 Estradiol The 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, an aromatized C18 steroid with hydroxyl group at 3-beta- and 17-beta-position.
