Abstract

One hundred seventy-seven menstrual cycles in 36 women between 45 and 53 years of age were studied prospectively. All the women were experienced in the symptothermal method of natural family planning. The objective was to determine the symptothermal and hormonal indices of potential fertility by measuring urinary estrone glucuronide and pregnanediol glucuronide. Thirty-three percent had regular cycles consistent with potential fertility, 19% had cycles consistent with infertility, and 47% had a mixture of both types of cycle.
