dc.description.abstract	The use of cervical mucus scoring (modified Insler Score) in prediction and detection of ovulation in ovulatory cycles has been evaluated against serial ultrasonic follicular monitor and estimation of mid-lutcal phase progesterone assay using the WHO match reagent system. The study showed that there was a very high positive correlation (r = +0.96) between the determination of day of ovulation by serial Insler score assessment and serial ultrasonography. Being simple to perforin, cheap, rapid and reasonably accurate method of ovulation prediction and detection, cervical score assessment is recommended for use in fertility management in our environment with limited manpower, infrastructure and resources	en_US
