Article abstract—— In an investigation of 100 women with localization-related epilepsy, anovulatory cycles were significantly greater in proportion in women with 21–25 or 33–35 day cycles (Group B) and in women with less than 21 or more than 35 day cycles (Group C) than in women with normal 26–32 day intervals (Group A). Groups B and C also had significantly higher estradiol/progesterone ratios than Group A. Nevertheless, almost one-half (46.2%) of the anovulatory cycles occurred in women with normal 26–32 day cycles.
