| If the judges' estimates of the preovulatory LH surge date were not the same, the judges met, reviewed the BBT and cervical mucus data as well as any other available data (including urine concentration of pregnanediol glucuronide and the traditional assumption of a 14-day luteal phase) to come to a consensus regarding the final preovulatory LH surge date for that cycle. LH, FSH, estrone 3-glucuronide (a metabolite of estradiol), and pregnanediol 3-glucuronide (a metabolite of progesterone) were all successfully measured in these samples. Daily first morning urine samples were analyzed for the presence of four key urinary endocrine markers that have been associated with nonconceptive menstrual cycles: lower preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH), lower midluteal-phase pregnanediol 3-glucuronide and estrone 3-glucuronide, and higher follicle-phase pregnanediol 3-glucuronide. |
