Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Clinical Trial
— QMHMSOfficial title:
Quantitative Hormonal Biomarkers of Menstrual Health in Normal and Abnormal Cycles
The Quantum Menstrual Health Monitoring Study will measure four key reproductive hormones in the urine to characterize patterns that predict and confirm ovulation, referenced to serum hormones and the gold-standard of the ultrasound day of ovulation in participants with regular cycles. These normal cycles will provide a reference for comparison to irregular cycles in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and athletes. Clinical signs in the menstrual cycle (e.g. menstrual bleeding, temperature) as well as vital sign and sleep patterns will also be referenced to hormonal changes.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | The rise and fall of urine luteinizing hormone will predict of ovulation in all participants with confirmed ovulation | The LH surge on the Mira monitor will accurately predict ovulation within 1-2 days referenced to the ultrasound-day of ovulation | 1 year | |
Primary | The rise in urine progesterone will confirm ovulation in all participants who have ovulated based on ultrasound | The progesterone (PDG) rise on the Mira monitor will accurately confirm ovulation within 3-5 days of the ultrasound-day of ovulation | 1 year | |
Primary | Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (E3G) changes will predict the onset of the fertile window at least 5 days before ovulation in participants with confirmed ovulation | FSH and E3G changes on the Mira monitor will predict the beginning of the fertile window | 1 year | |
Secondary | Menstrual bleeding scores will be correlated with changes in progesterone | Menstrual bleeding scores, including heavy bleeding, will be indicative of abnormal conditions like PCOS and correlated with progesterone abnormalities | 1 year | |
Secondary | Temperature rise will confirm ovulation in participants who have ovulated on ultrasound | Temperature, like progesterone, will rise to confirm ovulation 3-5 days after the ultrasound-confirmed day of ovulation | 1 year |
