Prediction of ovulation through urinary LH

ABSTRACT

Luteinising Hormone [LH] levels were screened in the urine samples taken from normal menstruating women, in order to establish the phase of their menstrual cycle on the basis of their urinary LH concentrations. Urinary LH was quantified using WHO RIA Reagents for serum LH. All the results agreed in the determination of the early follicular ovulation, Peak and Luteal Phases, as indicated by the day of sampling during the menstrual cycle. This suggests that urinary LH, instead of serum LH, can be used for predicting ovulation reliably
