Figures & data

Figure 1. Diagram of timing of the steroid testing, meetings, and LH testing across a menstrual cycle. Peri-ovulatory meeting took place after obtaining a positive LH test result or at the last day of the LH testing if no positive result appeared. Luteal meeting took place 7 days after the peri-ovulatory meeting.
