Development of biochemical techniques for the prediction of human ovulation

The objective of the research is the development of biochemical endpoints based upon changes in vaginal, cervical, urinary or oral cavity fluids which exhibit a consistent pattern with respect to the menstrual cycle. The potential indicator must be present in measurable and recognizable form in most individual cycles and must not require statistical analysis of pooled data for demonstration.
