“…Luteinizing hormone was routinely measured in both plasma and urine by RIA as described previously (Matthews et al, 1979), but using a second antibody (GARGG, Calbiochem; 0.5 HR, 4°C) to precipitate the bound fraction and calibrated against the first IRP of human pituitary LH for immunoassay. In some cases a modification of this assay with a reduced analysis time of 3 hours was employed.…”

Summary Human luteal phase function as evaluated by peripheral venous blood steroid levels does not appear to be impaired following the aspiration of follicular fluid together with a cumulus enclosed oocyte and a number of granulosal cells from the immediate preovular follicle in women having otherwise spontaneous ovular cycles. The day to day levels of luteinising hormone, oestradiol‐17β, 17α‐hydroxyprogesterone, progesterone and basal temperatures in 14 women who had their preovular follicle aspirated were compared with a control group of 28 spontaneously ovulating women. It was concluded that a carefully performed single aspiration of the contents of a preovular follicle, for the purpose of extra‐corporeal fertilisation of the mature oocyte, did not lead to impaired steroid function of the subsequent corpus luteum, although the prolactin levels were increased due to the effects of the relaxant anaesthetic and/or the laparoscopic procedure. A safe and simple laparoscopic procedure is also described, which is particularly suitable for women with a likelihood of extensive pelvic adhesions.

“…Artificial insemination with preserved donor semen was performed intracervically about the time of ovulation (Matthews et al, 1979). This was determined by clinical assessment of the cervical score, basal body temperature recordings and daily estimations of plasma luteinising hormone (LH).…”

Tubal Patency Testing in a Programme of Artificial Insemination With Donor Semen

The value of investigating tubal patency by hysterosalpingography, before artificial insemination with donor semen (AID), was studied retrospectively in 167 patients. The results suggest that unless there is a history of pelvic inflammatory disease preliminary hysterosalpinography is unnecessary. Conception rates were similar in women who had a normal hysterosalpingogram (44%), in those who had an abnormal hysterosalpingogram (46 %), and in those who had no preliminary tubal investigation (39 %) before AID. Life table analysis of expectancy of conception suggests that tubal patency testing should be delayed until after AID has been unsuccessful for four cycles. Laparoscopy is then the most worthwhile investigation.

“…48 Seibel and colleagues 49 found a circadian pattern to the surge with the onset in 17 of 20 patients between 5:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. in serum. Matthews and associates 50 performed AID in relation to an LH radioimmunoassay (RIA) using frozen sperm. Two inseminations per cycle timed day 0 and +1 with respect to the LH surge were best, with more inseminations per cycle not improving the results.…”
