Summary: A series of 50 patients whose pregnancy was complicated by incomplete abortion is reported. The average time which elapsed before the return of ovulation, as diagnosed by the demonstration of secretory endometrium histologically, was 50 days (range 10 to 104 days), and there was no difference between patients who aborted in the first and second trimesters. Twenty per cent of first menstruations were anovular and 6% of patients had 2 anovular menstruations prior to the return of ovulation.
