Journal ArticleDOI

Pituitary-ovarian function following the standard levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive dose or a single 0.75-mg dose given on the days preceding ovulation.

TL;DR: In conclusion, LNG can disrupt the ovulatory process in 93% of cycles treated when the diameter of the dominant follicle is between 12 and 17 mm, and the present data suggest that half the dose may be as effective as the standard dose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immediate pre-ovulatory administration of 30 mg ulipristal acetate significantly delays follicular rupture

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that UPA can significantly delay follicular rupture when given immediately before ovulation, which could possibly prevent pregnancy when administered in the advanced follicular phase, even if LH levels have already begun to rise, a time when levonorgestrel EC is no longer effective in inhibiting ovulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonmenstrual adverse events during use of implantable contraceptives for women: data from clinical trials.

TL;DR: The vast experience reported in the clinical studies reviewed here show that all existing implantable contraceptives are equally safe and can probably be attributed to the low-hormonal dose delivered by progestin-implant systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ulipristal acetate prevents ovulation more effectively than levonorgestrel: analysis of pooled data from three randomized trials of emergency contraception regimens.

TL;DR: Although no EC treatment is 100% effective in inhibiting follicular rupture when administered in the late follicular phase, UPA is the most effective treatment, delaying ovulation for at least 5 days in 59% of the cycles.
