A penicillinase linked enzyme immunoassay was developed for the estimation of pregnanediol-3 alpha-glucuronide (PdG) in urine. The immunoassay satisfied all the validity criteria and was used in detecting ovulation and in the assessment of corpus luteal function (CLF) during spontaneous or induced cycles. Reference values were established by estimating PdG levels in daily early morning urine samples during 31 menstrual cycles obtained from 17 regularly menstruating women. A PdG value of 1.7 micrograms/mg creatinine (micrograms/mgC) (90th Centile of follicular phase) in any MLP (mid-luteal phase) sample was considered as indicating ovulation. A value of 4.6 micrograms/mgC (20th centile of MLP) was considered to be evidence of sufficient CLF. When this approach was applied to 20 infertile cases, detection of the occurrence of ovulation/anovulation was made correctly in 19 out of 20 cases (95%). Accuracy was poor (55.6%) when the aim of the diagnosis was corpus luteal deficiency. Higher accuracy (88.9%) for corpus luteal deficiency/corpus luteal adequacy was obtained when the sum of PdG concentrations in three MLP samples were taken into consideration. A total of 13.8 micrograms/mgC (thrice the 20th centile for MLP) indicated probable corpus luteal deficiency, and values above this limit were considered to indicate corpus luteal adequacy.
