FIGURE 1 Distribution of LH pulse frequency per 24 hours among girls with PCOS, with oligomenorrhea (Oligo), and in normal girls. Menstrual cycle study dates are signified by filled circles (cycle days 5–9) and open circles (cycle days 2–4) for the normal group. The bar indicates the mean value in each group. Yoo.

FIGURE 2 Pulsatile 24-hour LH secretion in a normal girl (gynecological age, 2.5 years; Tanner stage 5); a girl with PCOS (gynecological age, 3 years; Tanner stage 5); and an adolescent with oligomenorrhea (gynecological age, 4 years; Tanner stage 5). The horizontal bar represents sleep time. Yoo. LH pulse frequency and oligomenorrhea. Fertil Steril 2006.

FIGURE 3 Number of LH pulses during sleep (filled circles) and while awake (open circles) among individual normal adolescent girls. Early follicular and midfollicular correspond to cycle days 2–4 and 5–9 of the menstrual cycle, respectively. Yoo. LH pulse frequency and oligomenorrhea. Fertil Steril 2006.
