Abstract

Various hematologic parameters were investigated in blood samples taken from 90 women with ovulatory cycles, 20 women with anovulatory cycles, and 20 women with cycles in which ovulation was induced by a combined gonadotropin treatment. Specific cytochemical methods for the selective visualization of neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes were applied. Blood samples were studied 10 times per cycle. The results show that the application of modern hematologic techniques reveals a more precise verification of minor quantitative variations in the blood than conventional techniques. Only thrombocytes and blood basophils reveal characteristic coincidental quantitative alterations around the time of ovulation. Blood basophil counts performed in consecutive cycles indicate the day of ovulation in individual cases.
