title: [Measurement of luteinizing hormone in urine and donor insemination].
abstract: The pregnancy rates after artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID) were investigated in 15 patients using the Ovu-Quck urinary LH-test to determine the time of ovulation. In 15 patients the time of ovulation and AID were determined by basal body temperature charts and served for comparison. Five patients in the Ovu-Quick group and 2 patients in the control group were excluded. The pregnancy rates in the Ovu-Quick group, four (40%) of 10 patients, were not statistically different from the pregnancy rates in the control group, 4 (31%) of 13 patients. It is concluded that a simple and rapid urinary LH-test might be an important parameter for predicting the time of ovulation.
