title: Prediction of ovulation with the assessment of LH and the E1G/P2G ratio in urinary samples.
abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two immuno-enzymatic urinary tests (Clearpan for LH secretion and Oveia for E1 G/P2G ratio) in the study of the oophorogenous function, in the prediction of ovulation, and in the recognition of the period of fertility. Both tests are very promising for a retrospective evaluation of the oophorogenous function; for the prediction of ovulation in spontaneous cycle, the Clearpan test is certainly preferable; in the monitoring of the ovulation in the cycles stimulated with post-menopausal gonadotropins, the Oveia test finds better application when accompanied by ultrasonographic evaluation; in the recognition of the fertile period, both tests shown a certain degree of doubt, so they cannot be used with surety.
