ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for determining the concentration of pregnanediol glucuronide (PG) in a woman's urine which is characterized by utilization of the reagent 20.alpha.-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (20-.alpha. reagent) in a form in which it reacts with antibodies binding to PG. The method is adaptable to a visual color indication test which can be performed by the woman herself as well as by laboratory analysis. The method can be used to define the period in which conception can occur, to define a post-ovulation safe period in which conception is prevented, and as an early pregnancy indicator.
