PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

The endocrine response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation was reviewed in 94 women undergoing in vitro

fertilization during 114 cycles. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effect of shortterm oral contraceptive

(OC) suppression on the recovery of pituitary gonadotropin function and subsequent controlled ovarian

hyperstimulation. 73 cycles (64%) were adequate for oocyte retrieval. In 41 cycles (36%), hyperstimulation was

discontinued. The serum 17beta estradiol value in women with a poor response was 57 +or- 50 pg/ml on day 8

compared with 376 +or- 334 pg/ml in the women who completed in vitro fertilization (p<0.05). The majority of women

82.4%) had a prompt response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation after shortterm OC suppression. Most

discontinuations were due to dominant follicle selection or luteinizing hormone surge and not to oversuppression by

shortterm OCs. Clinical pregnancies occurred in 15 women (20.5% of harvests). (author's) (PubHealth.info
