Levonorgestrel (LNG) consistently prevents follicular rupture only when it is given before the onset of the ovulatory stimulus. As locally synthesized prostaglandin (PG) plays a crucial role in follicular rupture and cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) catalyses the final step of PG synthesis, we reasoned that adding a cox-2 inhibitor to LNG would prevent follicular rupture even after the ovulatory process had been triggered by the gonadotrophin surge.
