The value of cervical score in predicting ovulation in natural and stimulated cycle

Abstract EN

This study was designed to determine the accuracy of cervical mucus scoring (CMS) for timing of ovulation in natural and stimulated cycle, and to compare the results with real time pelvic ultrasonography (P.U / S) for ovarian follicular growth and maturation, in both cycles.

A total of twenty-two cervical mucus (CM) was obtained and scored according to Insler mucus scoring; together with (P.U / S) folliculometry.

There was a high positive correlation(r = 0.96, p < 0.05) between determination the day of ovulation by serial Insler scoring assessment of (CM) and serial (P.U / S) folliculometry in natural cycle; while there was no such correlation(r = 0.15, p > 0.05) in the stimulated cycle
