AB  - In 30 normally menstruating women, ages 19 to 41 (mean 24), gravida 0 to 5 (mean 
      0.7), basal body temperature (BBT) was correlated with serum luteinizing hormone 
      (LH), progesterone, and estradiol or urinary estrogen levels assayed serially 
      during one menstrual cycle. In 21 subjects (70%), a biphasic BBT correlated with 
      an ovulatory hormonal pattern. Six women (20%) had a monophasic BBT but 
      demonstrated a preovulatory estrogen peak, a midcycle LH surge, and a significant 
      rise in serum progesterone levels during the luteal phase. The remaining three 
      women (10%) showed anovulatory cycles (two women) or a deficient luteal phase 
      (one woman) as determined by BBT and hormonal assays. The results indicate that 
      in approximately 20% of ovulatory cycles the BBT failed to demonstrate ovulation.
