The results of a cervical mucus scoring system and of basal body temperature (BBT) chart interpretation were compared with those of a short-incubation radioimmunoassay for luteinizing hormone (LH) in 198 ovulatory menstrual cycles. The timing of the maximal cervical mucus score was similar to that of the LH peak in all but 7% of assessable cycles. In contrast, the timing of the nadir of the BBT differed widely from that of the LH peak in 45% of cycles with interpretable charts. These findings suggest that cervical mucus scoring might be useful for identifying the time of ovulation where LH assays are unavailable or where speed and economy are at a premium.
在198个排卵月经周期中，对宫颈黏液评分系统和基础体温（BBT）图解读的结果与促黄体生成素（LH）短孵育放射免疫测定结果进行了比较。除7%的可评估周期外，宫颈黏液评分最高时的时间与LH峰值时间相似。相比之下，在45%有可解读图表的周期中，BBT最低点的时间与LH峰值时间差异很大。这些发现表明，在无法进行LH检测或速度和经济性至关重要的情况下，宫颈黏液评分可能有助于确定排卵时间。
