Serum luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone patterns in response to intravenous administration of 100 mcg luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) during the follicular phase of the cycle were examined in 8 women upon the discontinuation of a combined contraceptive, Ovidon, and in 11 untreated women. The duration of treatment was 9-12 months. Pituitary response to LH-RH was found to be diminished significantly in the treated patients. (author's)
