This paper presents a study of cycles with spontaneous luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in superovulatory Malay women during in vitro fertilization and gamete intrafallopian transfer programmes. Sixteen Malay women underwent ovarian stimulation for ovum pick up at the National Population and Family Development Board, Malaysia. Two cycles showed spontaneous LH surge, and comparisons were made between these two cycles and the cycles without surge. Further observations were made in their characteristics and differences in these two cycles as well as the relationship between progesterone and LH at the time and before the surge.
