03/09/1974 - "[Amenorrhea, anovulation and oligomenorrhea due to use of oral contraceptives]."
01/01/1987 - "Nineteen adolescent girls with oligomenorrhea were studied to evaluate the effect of oral contraceptives (OCs) on hormone profiles, and 19 adolescent girls with regular menstruations served as control subjects. "
05/01/1997 - "The objectives of this study were to assess 1) whether treatment with oral contraceptives (OCs), in comparison with medroxyprogesterone and placebo, improved bone mineral content and density in women with hypothalamic amenorrhea and 2) whether treatment with medroxyprogesterone, in comparison with placebo, improved bone mineral content and density in women with hypothalamic oligomenorrhea. "
05/01/1997 - "The objectives of this study were to assess (1) whether treatment with oral contraceptives, in comparison with medroxyprogesterone and placebo, improved bone mineral in women with hypothalamic amenorrhea and (2) whether treatment with medroxyprogesterone, in comparison with placebo, improved bone mineral in women with hypothalamic oligomenorrhea. "
01/01/1981 - " In this discussion of alternatives to adolescent pregnancy, attention is directed to the following: a historical overview of pregnancy prevention and management of sexually transmitted diseases; oral contraceptives; contraindications of oral contraceptive (OC) use (cardiovascular/cardiopulmonary conditions, migraine headaches, epilepsy, oligomenorrhea, sickle cell disease, the liver, cancer, and miscellaneous side-effects); the low-estrogen OC, the mini-pill; IUDs; barrier methods; postcoital contraceptives; injectable contraceptives; abstinence; periodic abstinence; and miscellaneous methods.

10/01/2009 - "No significant differences in BMI, estradiol concentrations, or bone density were found, but trunk fat mass was lower in adolescents with oligomenorrhea who also reported more frequent exercise. "
09/01/1990 - "Increased basal LH and FSH concentrations, together with the basal estradiol level at the lower limit of normal values, were observed only in one female patient with oligomenorrhea. "
09/01/2005 - "Pituitary gonadotroph adenoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis in reproductive-aged women presenting with the clinical symptom triad of new onset oligomenorrhea, bilateral cystic adnexal masses, and elevated estradiol and FSH levels with suppressed levels of LH; timely diagnosis may prevent unnecessary and potentially damaging surgical procedures."
07/01/1993 - "Women at high risk of a subsequent miscarriage had oligomenorrhea and an isolated deficiency of estradiol in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle."
06/01/1977 - "In detail:--in cases of prolonged amenorrhea, with plasma estradiol levels lower than 50 pg/ml, the positive results were only 15%;--in cases of short-term amenorrhea, with plasma estradiol levels lower than 50 pg/ml, the success rate was only 18%;--in cases with prolonged amenorrhea but with plasma estradiol levels higher than 50 pg/ml, the success rate was 43%;--in cases of short-term amenorrhea with plasma estradiol levels higher than 50 pg/ml, the success rate was 68%;--in cases of oligomenorrhea and of persistent anovulation, the success rate was 72%."
