Summary. Mouse blastocysts were cultured in vitro in a defined medium supplemented with uterine flushings (containing 500 μg protein/ml) obtained from normal women at various stages of the menstrual cycle. With one exception (uterine flushing collected on the last day of a menstrual period) blastocyst hatching and attachment were not impaired by flushings collected before or after ovulation.
