The effects of Implanon® on menstrual bleeding patterns
TL;DR: Implanon® use is associated with an unpredictable bleeding pattern, which includes amenorrhoea and infrequent, frequent, and/or prolonged bleeding, and effective preinsertion counselling on the possible changes in bleeding patterns may improve continuation rates.

TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying the common problems of menorrhagia associated with ovulatory and anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and of unpredictable breakthrough bleeding during hormonal contraceptive use are focused on.

TL;DR: Better understanding of the mechanisms underlying vaginal bleeding as well as of the attitudes of women towards menstrual disturbances is needed, so that effective and acceptable therapies can be devised.

Ovarian steroid and cytokine modulation of human endometrial angiogenesis
Dan I. Lebovic,Jan L. Shifren,Isabelle P. Ryan,Michael D. Mueller,A. Korn,Philip D. Darney,Robert N. Taylor +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that regulation of endometrial angiogenesis is mediated indirectly, via steroid and cytokine actions on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and data is presented indicating that VEGF expression in normalendometrial stromal cells is increased by oestrogens and progestins.

Expression of Angiopoietin-2 by Human Endometrial Endothelial Cells: Regulation by Hypoxia and Inflammation

TL;DR: The results suggest that Ang-2 plays a role in endometrial pathologies complicated by impaired blood flow and inflammation.

An approach to the analysis of menstrual patterns in the critical evaluation of contraceptives.
TL;DR: The method utilizes a prospective bleeding record and characterizes the menstrual pattern of a woman according to bleeding and nonbleeding events without imposing definitions of cycle or intermenstrual bleeding.

Vaginal bleeding patterns among women using one natural and eight hormonal methods of contraception
TL;DR: A comparative analysis of women's vaginal bleeding patterns using nine different methods of contraception, one natural and eight hormonal, confirms those of previous studies and shows that the methods of analysis recommended by WHO in 1985 still require substantial refinement.

TL;DR: There is a high degree of consistency between the reasons given by individual women for discontinuing the contraceptive method and their vaginal bleeding pattern during the 90 days preceding discontinuations, however the data revealed large between-centre differences, both in the incidence of specific patterns, and in the identification by women of bleeding problems as reasons for discontinuation.
