Dr. Nanette Santoro proposes to test the specific question that obesity results in abnormal estradiol response at the level of the pituitary and hypothalamus. This will be shown in diminished pituitary sensitivity to gonadorelin releasing hormone with a reduced estradiol induced luteinizing hormone surge in obese women.

Amount of Luteinizing hormone Surge
Urinary luteinizing hormone concentration in mIU/mg of Creatinine
From enrollment to the end of treatment is 7 days.
Time of Luteinizing Hormone Peak
From enrollment to 7 days
Normal weight women (NWW) will wear a Transdermal estradiol patch for 7 days and collect urine to determine LH surge.
Women with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 will wear a Transdermal estradiol patch for 7 days and collect urine to determine LH surge.
Estradiol patched will be worn for 7 days.
