The purpose of this study was to compare the intimacy, spiritual well being (SWB), and self-esteem of couples using natural family planning (NFP) with those couples using oral contraceptives (OCs). 22 couples who were using the Creighton Model Ovulation Method of NFP for 1 year to avoid pregnancy were matched with 22 couples who were using OCs for a least a 1-year period and administered a SWB, self-esteem, and intimacy inventory. Student t-tests were calculated to determine differences in the mean scores of the 3 inventories between the 2 groups. The results showed that the NFP couples had statistically higher self-esteem (T=3.15, p0.01), SWB (T=4.25. p0.001), and intellectual intimacy (T=2.53, p0.05) than the OC couples. There were no differences in emotional, social, recreational, and sexual intimacy between the groups. Although the results provide some evidence that NFP can enhance a couple's relationship, other factors such as a sampling bias and educational levels could explain the difference.

The aim of this study was to compare day-3 serum inhibin B levels of poor and good ovarian responders in the IVF-program. The study group consisted of 20 poor ovarian responders. The control group composed of 40 good ovarian responders who had similar demographic characteristics. The serum inhibin B levels were analysed by two-site-immunosorbent assay or sandwich ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay). The mean inhibin B level of the study group was 113.18 +/- 57.96 picogram per millilitre and of the control group was 94.05 +/- 61.81 picogram per millilitre. There was no statistically significant difference. The results might be useful as base-line data for further study.

The objective of the research is the development of biochemical endpoints based upon changes in vaginal, cervical, urinary or oral cavity fluids which exhibit a consistent pattern with respect to the menstrual cycle. The potential indicator must be present in measurable and recognizable form in most individual cycles and must not require statistical analysis of pooled data for demonstration. The request for proposal (RFP) was issued on January 30, 1976. Proposals will be due COB, March 31, 1976. Copies of the RFP may be obtained by sending requests to: Paul Duska, Contracting Officer, Contracts Management Section, Grants and Contracts, Management Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Development, Landow Building, Room C-625, Bethesda, Maryland 20014.
