The ovarian follicles of six normocyclic women were laparoscopically punctured and aspirated on the eleventh or twelfth postmenstrual day of the cycle. Ovocytes and follicular fluid are characterised. Endometrial biopsies were taken of the patients concerned, after two days or so had been allowed to pass.--On histochemical evaluation, the abraded material seemed to exhibit early signs of beginning secretion as a "normal" endometrial response to artificial follicular rupture. The findings are discussed with reference to unanswered questions regarding in vitro fertilisation of human probands.
