“…::: :;~u.ij; cUllulluing earlier reports [3,[11][12][13]. However, there are studies which did not find any significant difference in the leading follicular diameter between the spontaneous and CC stimulated cycles [14,15]. The range of follicular diameter at which ovulation occurred was more or less same in both the groups confirming earlier studies [3,13,14].…”

“…While there are studies reporting larger follicle diameters in CC stimulated cycles [3,[11][12][13]; others reported no difference in follicular growth between spontaneous and CC stimulated cycle [14,15]. The present study is aimed at transvaginal sonographic evaluation of follicular dynamics in spontaneous and clomiphene citrate (CC) stimulated cycles, in the same patients, at a service hospital.…”

A study of 186 infertile women was carried out to evaluate the effect of clomiphene citrate on the follicular dynamics. All patients underwent transvaginal sonography over at least 02 consecutive cycles-spontaneous followed by clomiphene stimulated cycle. Clomiphene citrate resulted in higher average follicular diameter on all corresponding days as compared to spontaneous cycles. Multifollicular response was common in clomiphene stimulated cycles.

“…The luteinising hormone peak has been extensively assessed, compared with direct laparoscopy 3 ; but it is still an indirect index of the expected day of ovulation (luteinising hormone‐expected date of ovulation) and it is often subject to biological variations 4 . On the other hand, although less accurate than laparoscopy 5–9 , ultrasound detection of the day of ovulation (US‐DO) is a direct method. Yet, its disadvantage is the risk of subjective interpretations of the ovaries’ ultrasonic morphology.…”

Objective To improve prediction of ovulation in normal cycles. Design Collection of women's characteristics and their menstrual cycles. Monitoring and analysis of time relationships between several indicators of ovulation: transvaginal ultrasonography, cervical mucus, basal body temperature, urinary luteinising hormone, and ratio of urinary oestrogen to progesterone metabolites. Setting Each of eight natural family planning clinics was to study 12 women for at least three cycles.Population One hundred and seven normally fertile and cycling women aged 18 to 45. Methods Daily measurements of urinary luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, oestrone-3-glucuronide and pregnanediol-3a -glucuronide. Basal body temperature recording and cervical mucus checking.Transvaginal ultrasound examination of the ovaries.Main outcome measures Delays between the expected day of ovulation according to the luteinising hormone peak or to ultrasound evidence and the expected days according to the other indices of ovulation.Results Ultrasonography was able to show evidence of ovulation in 283 out of 326 cycles. The average time lag between luteinising hormone peak and ultrasound evidence was less than one day (10.46) but premature and late luteinising hormone-expected date of ovulation were observed in nearly 10% and 23% of cycles, respectively. Basal body temperature rise was observed in 98% of cycles. Cervical mucus peak symptom, rapid drop in the ratio of urinary metabolites, and luteinising hormone initial rise were all close to ultrasonographic evidence in more than 72% of cycles.Conclusions For accuracy and practical reasons, the cervical mucus peak symptom, the ratio of urinary metabolites and luteinising hormone initial rise might be better indices of ovulation than the luteinising hormone peak.
