Artificial versions of oestrogen and progesterone are added to a computer model of the menstrual cycle. FSH and LH are released by a simulated pituitary gland. The model predicts that no follicle reaches maturity and ovulation does not occur.

less FSH and more LH are released
more FSH and less LH are released
more FSH and more LH are released
