| Primary | Ovulation Rate | Calculated as a proportion of subjects with at least 1 post-baseline progesterone level = 6 ng/mL or subjects with confirmed positive serum ß-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) (i.e., 2 positive results) or subjects with a gestational sac documented by transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). | From treatment Day 1 up to 4 weeks after second positive ß-hCG test, approximately 9 weeks | |
| Secondary | Progesterone (P4) Levels | Proportion of participants with at least 1 post-baseline P4 level = 10 ng/mL. | Treatment Days 19, 21, 23, 25, and 27 | |
| Secondary | Clinical Pregnancy Rate | Proportion of subjects with presence of gestational sac and fetal heart movement on TVUS after a second positive serum ß-hCG test. | 2 to 4 weeks after a second positive serum ß-hCG test | |
| Secondary | Biochemical Pregnancy Rate | Proportion of subjects with a confirmed positive serum ß-hCG test after luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. | Approximately 14 days after LH surge | |
