| Summary: | ~a~ Of~ lliethod& tor~ $Otne women~
~ m lt«bal 'plants as anti-&rtility agents based on its common use for many yam, passed
down ft'otn generation to generation. One of these herbal plants is Trigonella foenum-graecum
(fenugreek). The presence of saponin in fenugreek seeds is believed to be the active
compound responsible for fenugreek anti-fertility property. The pmpose of this study was to
evaluate the contraceptive effect (anti-fertility) of fenugreek seeds aqueous (FSA) extract on
female rats by assessing eStrous cycles, determining serum reproductive hormone concentrations
and observing their ovarian tissue hi.Stology, as well as determining the reversibility
of these anti-fertility effects once the treatment was withdrawn.
