TL;DR: The finding of low prostaglandin E content in seminal fluid compared with controls and noninvestigated infertile male partners (B) shows that the E compounds are important for reproduction.

TL;DR: The contraceptive effect of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg doses of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in silastic cylindrical vaginal rings (75 mm outside diameter, 7 mm thick) molded around metal springs and placed in diaphragm position was investigated in 19 non-contracepting, regularly-cycling women (7 of whom were placebo controls) over two pretreatment control cycles, 1 treatment cycle (rings inserted for 3 weeks) and 1 post-treatment recovery cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, a postalbumin (migrating behind albumin) protein appeared in the uterine fluid after ovulation and increased during early pregnancy or pseudopregnancy reached a maximum on the fifth day postovulation and decreased to nearly 0 by the ninth day post-ovulation.

TL;DR: A suspension of the cytotoxant quinacrine is instilled into the endometrial cavities to occlude the proximal fallopian tube of women to treat obstruction of the uterus and point to the acridine nucleus as the active moeity since proflavine but not chloroquine or riboflavine produced hyperplasia of theendometrium.

TL;DR: An investigation of the ovarian-pituitary cycle in several patients with severe persistent luteal phase defects in an effort to understand the etiology in relation to the clinical symptomatology of the defect is reported, indicating that at least 1 etiologic factor responsible for a lutenal phase defect may be a poor cyclic LH stimulation.

TL;DR: A study was designed to evaluate the electrophoretic patterns of monkey tubal fluid collected continuously before during and after ovulation through the use of an improved system of continuous collection, and a protein not seen in serum was observed.

TL;DR: A method for the collection of human tubal fluid and the determination of its protein content is described in this article, where 6 patients free of adnexal disease who were scheduled for elective abdominal hysterectomy or tubal ligation were selected for the study.

TL;DR: Interactions between the cervical plasma and the structural elements of the network as well as with the penetrating sperms remain to be investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the amount of progesterone released from a 30 mm intrauterine capsule and found that the diffusion rate of the capsule was related to the amount remaining in the capsule when the amount became small.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of injectable 6 alpha-methyl-17-acetoxyprogesterone (MP) on carbohydrate metabolism prospective investigations were performed on 49 women.

TL;DR: 2 experimental contraceptive injection programs are reported and both methods are found to be extremely effective.

TL;DR: Results suggest that a small number of women have specific reactions against sperm or seminal fluid that inhibit fertility, and screening of serum for sperm agglutinins should be continued to provide an estimate of immunologic reactions against semen in cases of infertility.

TL;DR: A new method using polyacrylamide (combined gel) electrophosesis for separation of cervical mucus glycoproteins is described in this paper, where two different mucoids were hydrolyzed by pancreatic chymotrypsin and proteolytic enzymes isolated from seminal plasma.

TL;DR: The results confirm the widely held concept that the surge of LH itself is the significant driving force behind ovulation and suggest that progesterone may play a role in initiating the ovulatory process itself.
