Sperm peritoneal recovery in infertile couples with male factors.

Several studies (1-3) dealing with the presence of spermatozoa in preovulatory peritoneal liquid have shown a low correlation with the situation prevailing in the uterine cervix. Although all previous studies have worked with normospermic populations, we aimed at answering whether alterations of seminal variables are associated with alterations in transportation along the feminine tract. Different sperm migrations (in concentration and motility) were found, depending on the number of seminal variables altered.

Bromocriptine in the treatment of hyperolactinemic amenorrhea.

Thirty women with secondary amenorrhea and hyperprolactinemia were studied; galactorrhea was present in 25 of them, and 18 were infertile. Serum prolactin (PRL) levels were high in all cases, between 26 and 120 ng/ml. All women were treated with bromocriptine in increasing doses from 2.

Plasma levels of norepinephrine during the periovulatory period in normal women. Further studies.

Eleven normally cycling women in whom laparotomy was indicated for benign gynecologic pathology were studied. Surgery was performed on day 0 (expected day of ovulation). Blood samples were drawn daily from day -8 to day -4, and every 8 hours from day -3 to day +2; estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), norepinephrine (NE), and LH were determined by RIA.
