Administration of low doses of an antiprogestin to rhesus monkeys permits ovarian/menstrual cyclicity, suppresses endometrial proliferation and prevents pregnancy without adverse or toxic side-effects after 5-6 months of daily treatment. The purpose of this study was to test the reversibility with respect to restoration of fertility after 1 year of low-dose antiprogestin treatment.
