RESUMO
Our studies have shown normal cyclical patterns of ovarian steroids and pituitary gonadotropines in patients with congenital absence of the uterus. It appears that the life-long abscence of a functioning uterus has no effect on the functional life span of the corpus luterum, but may have some effect in the level of estrogenes in the second half of the cycle.

24 patients with infertility caused by lateal phase deficiency were treated with thyroid hormones or placebos. The incidence of pregnancy in the group taking thyroid hormone was much higher, which suggests that a course of thyroid hormone should be administered before a more aggressive therapy with chorionic gonadotropins or clomid is given. The success rate of this therapy is as favorable as any other.
