title: [Current determination of ovulation time. 2. Optimization of timing for oocyte recovery].
abstract: Knowledge of probable ovulation date is essential to the recovery of pre-ovulatory oocytes for in vitro fertilisation. The authors used a commercially available LH-RIA kit for blood and urine samples together with the HI-Gonavis test for urine assay for high-accuracy determination of luteinising hormone (LH) in the peri-ovulatory cycle phase. Follicle status and oocyte quality were laparoscopically described of seven patients, between the eleventh and 16th days p.m. Optimum timing for oocyte recovery has not even become known by knowledge of LH rise. Different recommendations by other authors are discussed, and reference is made to unanswered problems.
