Abstract

In 30 normally menstruating women, ages 19 to 41 (mean 24), gravida 0 to 5 (mean 0.7), basal body temperature (BBT) was correlated with serum luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, and estradiol or urinary estrogen levels assayed serially during one menstrual cycle. In 21 subjects (70%), a biphasic BBT correlated with an ovulatory hormonal pattern. Six women (20%) had a monophasic BBT but demonstrated a preovulatory estrogen peak, a midcycle LH surge, and a significant rise in serum progesterone levels during the luteal phase. The remaining three women (10%) showed anovulatory cycles (two women) or a deficient luteal phase (one woman) as determined by BBT and hormonal assays. The results indicate that in approximately 20% of ovulatory cycles the BBT failed to demonstrate ovulation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
