New estimates of the effectiveness of the Yuzpe regimen of emergency contraception

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided new estimates of the effectiveness of the Yuzpe method of emergency contraception and provided estimates for the confidence intervals for estimated effectiveness rates, which ranged from a low of 44.2% to a high of 88.7% with a 95% confidence interval extending from 65.6% to 82.4%.

Comparison of specific gravity and creatinine for normalizing urinary reproductive hormone concentrations.

TL;DR: SG is a potentially useful alternative to CR correction for normalizing urinary steroid hormone concentrations, particularly in settings where CR values are highly variable or unusually low.

Effects of the menstrual cycle on exercise performance

TL;DR: These findings suggest that regularly menstruating female athletes, competing in strength-specific sports and intense anaerobic/aerobic sports, do not need to adjust for menstrual cycle phase to maximise performance.

High prevalence of subtle and severe menstrual disturbances in exercising women: Confirmation using daily hormone measures

TL;DR: It is suggested that approximately half of exercising women experience subtle menstrual disturbances, i.e. LPD and anovulation, and that one third of exercisingWomen may be amenorrheic.

Day-specific probabilities of clinical pregnancy based on two studies with imperfect measures of ovulation

TL;DR: Methods that anticipate ovulation by several days (such as the assessment of cervical mucus) would be particularly useful for couples who want to time their intercourse either to avoid or facilitate conception.

Steroids in Saliva for Assessing Endocrine Function

TL;DR: Since saliva samples can be collected at frequent intervals by both adults and children, they facilitate short term dynamic tests, pharmacokinetic analyses, and studies of chronobiological changes and measurement of steroids in saliva is attractive.

The Cervical Score

TL;DR: The best method for monitoring the events occurring during the menstrual cycle consists of serial assays of gonadotrophins and steroids assays and estimations of urinary or blood levels of estrogen and progesterone.
