New tests for the prediction of ovulation.
With improvements in basic science understanding and technology, it is predictable that within the next decade, more reliable and accurate methods of ovulation prediction will be available. The former may result from the exploration of gonadal peptides and their measurement whereas the latter may result from the ever-increasing resolution of ultrasonographic imaging. The current state of the art in predicting ovulation involves the combination of several of the described techniques (cervical mucus, urinary LH, ultrasonography). Used skillfully together they serve the infertility specialist well.
