Anovulation and Monophasic Cycles

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997
Normal pubertal development is often considered complete when the adolescent experiences her first menstrual period. However, sexual maturity is not attained until the onset of regular ovulatory cycles, which may take a number of months to years to accomplish. This maturation process is orchestrated by a neuroendocrine cascade and modified by autocrine

Estrogen-Androgen Balance in Anovulation

Fertility and Sterility, 1981
The balance of estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) in 15 anovulatory patients was evaluated by measuring the daily plasma concentration of E2 and T, and their free and protein-bound fractions for a 3- to 4-week period. Similar daily plasma E2 and T data were obtained from five normal ovulatory cycles as a control group.

Ovulation induction in normogonadotropic anovulation (PCOS)

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2006
Treatment of normogonadotropic anovulatory infertility (World Health Organization class 2, or WHO2) is by induction of ovulation using clomiphene citrate (CC), followed by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in cases of treatment failure. Not all patients will become ovulatory or will conceive with this treatment.

Plasma Hormone Profile in Anovulation

Fertility and Sterility, 1979
Daily plasma hormones, including luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), progesterone, androstenedione, and testosterone (T), were measured in 16 anovulatory patients for a span of 3 to 4 weeks. The clinical diagnoses in this group of patients included the following: anovulation-eumenorrhea (n = 5 ...
