Abstrakt: The concentration of alkaline phosphatase in cervical mucus was serially determined during a menstrual cycle in five normal ovulatory women and correlated with the time of ovulation as monitored by the basal body temperature and radioimmunoassay of serum lutenizing hormone (LH), progesterone, and estradiol. The activity of alkaline phosphatase decreased significantly at midcycle just prior to the LH surge and began to rise after ovulation. Self-detection of cervical mucus alkaline phosphatase may provide a practical method of ovulation prediction.
