Objectives: To evaluate ovulation risk among women enrolling in an emergency contraception (EC) study by measuring contraceptive steroids and ovarian hormones.
Study Design: We used standard chemiluminescent assays to evaluate endogenous hormones (estradiol, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone) and liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry to simultaneously analyze concentrations of ethinylestradiol, dienogest, norelgestromin (NGMN), norethindrone (NET), gestodene, levonorgestrel (LNG), etonogestrel (ENG), segesterone acetate, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), and drospirenone in serum samples obtained at the time of enrollment in a recent study comparing oral ulipristal acetate and LNG EC in women with weight ≥80 kg reporting no recent use of hormonal contraception.
Results: We enrolled 532 and obtained a valid baseline blood sample from 520 women.

Objective: To outline oocyte competence after progestin primed ovarian stimulation with Norethisterone acetate (NETA-PPOS) compared to conventional GnRH-antagonist protocol.
Study Design: Retrospective matched case-control study involving advanced-maternal-age women undergoing ICSI with PGT-A. 89 NETA-PPOS were matched with 178 control patients based on maternal age and ovarian reserve biomarkers.

Progestins are mainly used in pharmacotherapy and animal husbandry and have received increasing attention as they are widely detected in various aquatic ecosystems. In this study, adult female western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) were exposed to different concentrations of norethindrone (NET) (solvent control, 5.0 (L), 50.

Treatment of uterine fibroids (UF) and endometriosis (EM) has relied on the surgical skills of gynecologists to improve symptoms and potentially alter the course of these debilitating diseases. Medical management of symptoms for both diseases leverages combined hormonal contraceptives used off label as a first-line treatment, with nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids to manage pain as needed. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor agonists (peptide analogs) have been used as short-term therapy to manage severe symptoms of UF or EM, treat anemia, and reduce fibroid size before surgery.

Estrogen dependence and progesterone resistance play a crucial role in the origin and development of endometriosis. Therefore, hormonal therapies are currently the most effective treatment. Progestins are considered the first-line approach, especially for a long-term management.
