简要总结
The researchers hypothesize that emergency contraception (EC) will initiate the changes associated with atresia or ovulatory failure at all stages of follicular development and that the image attributes associated with atresia will be similar regardless of the diameter of the dominant follicle when ovarian suppression is initiated. Second, changes associated with atresia may be observed, but ovulation of the dominant follicle is unimpeded.
详细描述
This study is a single-center, randomized, open-label, double-controlled protocol to study the pattern of ovarian follicular growth and regression in two groups of women. The first group will use Plan B, which is a progesterone only OC containing 0.75 levonorgestrel. The second group of women will use the Yuzpe regimen, which uses 50 mg ethinyl estradiol/0.5 mg levonorgestrel pills at different stages of the menstrual follicular cycle.
