Correlation between endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhea and the presence of typical or atypical lesions.
To evaluate the correlation between the severity of endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhea and the extent of the disease assessed both with a current classification system and with the number and type of endometriosis lesions. ⋯ The current classification system for endometriosis, devised primarily to formulate a prognosis in infertile patients, correlates significantly with endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhea. The present study does not support the suggested association between atypical implants and the severity of dysmenorrhea.

Comparative StudyClomiphene citrate ovulation induction in combination with a timed intrauterine insemination: the value of urinary luteinizing hormone versus human chorionic gonadotropin timing.
To evaluate the clinical pregnancy rates (PRs) in anovulatory, male factor, and unexplained infertility using clomiphene citrate (CC) with an IUI and to evaluate the difference in PRs between urinary LH testing and hCG administration for timing of the IUI. ⋯ These data suggest that the success of IUI with CC is not dependent on the method used to establish the timing for the IUI. In couples undergoing IUI with CC, the use of urinary LH testing may result in lower costs by reducing patient visits and the midcycle ultrasound.
