title: [Postovulatory and post-implantation inhibition of fertility--general account (author's transl)].
abstract: Latest knowledge about interception and induced menstruation is discussed. Interception (postovulatory inhibition of fertility) can be undertaken by using oestrogens, anti-oestrogens and gestagens as well as non-steroid compounds. Induced menstruation is discussed as a method of post-implantation inhibition of fertility. Induction of menstruation, that is post-implantation contraception, will be feasible by means of anti-gestagens or inhibitors ov ovarian steroid biosynthesis. While most various research efforts have been undertaken, no practicable procedure has become available as yet.
