Abstract

From the bioassay data presented, it can be seen that levels of follicle stimulating hormone in both the lactating and the nonlactating patient remained below the minimal detectable value of 1.5 international units second International Reference Preparation/24 hr. This level was maintained for 5 weeks in the nonlactating patient and 8 weeks in the lactating patient. Prior to the first postpartum menstruation, there was a rise in follicle stimulating hormone levels in both patients to a similar peak value with a fall to minimal detectable levels prior to menstruation.
