title: [Gonadotropic function during its use and after its cessation of a triphasic combination of gestodene].
abstract: The present data show that the contraceptive studied, a triphasic combination pill with gestodene, strongly depresses gonadotropin levels. Seric levels of both FSH and LH are below 1 mIU/ml as early as the third treatment cycle. Recovery of a normal pituitary function occurs rapidly after the administration is discontinued: both basal and stimulated gonadotropin levels are back to normal during the first cycle following a 3 months treatment course. Prolactin secretion remains unaltered both during and after treatment.
